BAC ROCKS! 2006, a show based on music by The Beatles, was originally planned in the Spring of 2005. Band members were recruited and the new BAC ROCKS! band got together and picked songs to play. Rehearsals began in January of 2006 in the Fine Arts Center on campus. As the project developed the list of songs was refined, and in late September 2006 all musical pieces had come together. This was the biggest BAC ROCKS! production thus far. It had an elaborate set, a replica of the rooftop on 3 Savile Row in London where The Beatles Played their last ever live performance in early 1969. The set was designed by Naomi Haus-Roth and partly constructed by college students and faculty during College Service Day 2006. A large sound system was hired and for the first time the light show was included rotating lights. The light show was, as usual, designed by Juliet and Steve Lindrooth. This was also the first time that a BAC ROCKS! production played multiple shows (three in total).

October 13, 2006. It is five days to the first show and the set has been put in place on the stage. Still lots of work for the light and sound crews.

Saturday October 14, 2006. The band performs a full dress rehearsal.

The band rehearsing on the stage which is now getting closer and closer to being ready. During this time Juliet Lindrooth worked extremely hard to program the lights (the new light board came without any instructions...). In the end it all worked out beautifully!
