“We’re excited to highlight all that we’ve accomplished in these thirteen years as Girls Rock MKE, as well as take a forward look at what we hope to accomplish in the years to come as Let’s Get Loud MKE,” said Hannah Pardee, Executive Director. Beginning January 2027, Girls Rock MKE will officially change its name to Let’s Get Loud MKE in order to better reflect the population served by the organization. “Let’s celebrate with the community we’ve built together!”

Let’s Get Loud MKE will continue embodying the same mission of empowering marginalized identities and diverse experiences through music education and performance, but with a name that better represents the youth and adults of underrepresented gender identities the organization already serves. VIP ticketholders at “For the Record” will receive exclusive access to merchandise featuring the brand new Let’s Get Loud MKE logo, designed by Maggie Laughner!

More information about the rebrand, including a full FAQ, is available at girlsrockmke.org/name-change-lgl.
