okay this may or may not be cool but i had a dream about this.

okay so my dream was that Fender sponsored an all-kids tour that went all over the US, and the kids played songs of their favorite artists. And you brought your own gear, except like microphones.

but don't you think that it would be fun to do that? have kid bands all over the country playing on a tour together. if it were at all even possible. because i don't think that anyone would want to be a tour bus driver for any of those little immature 12 & 13 year-olds. but it could also be a good chance to be recognized by a music scout.

so yeah what do you think about it? wouldn't that be kool?

I think that would be a great idea. Maybe have an audition to find the best ones in that age group.

I don't mean to shoot your idea down but the same reason they won't have minors at Fender University is the same reason Fender would never accept responsibility for a large group of minors by taking them on tour. The liabiliy is massive. I like the idea, but can't see Fender taking a chance like that.

DUDE! That would be sweet! My bro plays the drums and he could be a part of that! WOW! That's genius. That would also give a chance for the kids to get off the street and into learning something new, fun, and challenging.
