Created in coordination with Twisted Sister and the band’s management, this backdrop is part of Classic Backdrops’ VIBE program, a sponsor-funded initiative that allows it to serve the band onstage while also returning to the studio for educational and community experiences that connect kids with art, creativity, and the world behind live music. The backdrop is not funded by Twisted Sister. It is made possible by businesses and organizations that believe in supporting the arts for kids.
This is one of the most exciting projects to come through the Classic Backdrops studio. Created in coordination with Twisted Sister and the band’s management, the production includes a hand-painted 9' × 20' stage backdrop through the sponsor-funded VIBE program, along with a 2' × 12' drum-riser skirt and two 6' × 8' amp masks commissioned by the band.
