The video was designed by Andrew Lloyd Webber and SCHOOL OF ROCK book writer Julian Fellowes to take full advantage of new 360° technology and allows you to navigate all angles of the classroom for an exciting and immersive experience of the song. The 360° video accompanies a new single of "You're in the Band" produced by Lloyd Webber and legendary music producer, Rob Cavallo, to be released by Warner Bros. Records.

Andrew Lloyd Webber said, "I am proud that SCHOOL OF ROCK is not just the first musical to take this leap into the future, but that this video of 'You're in the Band' is the first time anyone has used the 360 degree medium in this way. It could open a lot of doors."

SCHOOL OF ROCK - THE MUSICAL will begin preview performances on Broadway Monday, November 9, 2015 at the Winter Garden Theatre, with an opening set for Sunday, December 6, 2015. Based on the smash hit 2003 film of the same title, SCHOOL OF ROCK - The Musical will feature music from the movie, as well as an original score by Andrew Lloyd Webber and lyricist Glenn Slater, with a book by Julian Fellowes and direction by Laurence Connor (currently represented on Broadway by Les Miserables).
