Rocket Scientists
Rocket Scientists was formed in the late 1980s by keyboardist Erik Norlander and vocalist / guitarist Mark McCrite. The two released their first CD, “Earthbound”, in 1993 joined by then – session bassist Don Schiff. Schiff quickly became a part of the band for their second release in 1995, “Brutal Architecture”, and the three toured in the US and Europe in 1997 culminating in the live CD, “Earth Below and Sky Above: Live in Europe and America”. In 1999, Rocket Scientists released “Oblivion Days”, raising the bar on already high expectations.

At the turn of the century, Norlander, Schiff and McCrite all worked on solo projects in addition to backing symphonic rock vocal icon Lana Lane on several tours around the world. After an eight year hiatus, Rocket Scientists released its fourth studio album “Revolution Road” in 2006 to high accolades from the press and fans worldwide. In January 2008, Rocket Scientists released their first box set entitled “Looking Backward”, a 5-disc collection containing remastered versions of their first three studio albums, “Earthbound”, “Brutal Architecture” and “Oblivion Days”, along with a 4th audio CD of new recordings of classic Rocket Scientists songs reinterpreted by the band in 2007. The 5th disc is a DVD-9 containing video of the 2007 sessions along with extensive interviews and historical archive footage from sessions going back to 1993.

Rocket Scientists toured internationally in 2007-2009 to support the Revolution Road and Looking Backward releases performing at RoSFest, 3 Rivers Prog Festival, Bay Area Rock Fest, Baja Prog (MX) and Rotherham Rocks (UK) in addition to a long string of club dates. Authorized videos are on the Rocket Scientists YouTube channel.

Rocket Scientists’ latest releases are Refuel, a 12-song full-length album mixing vocal and instrumental tracks, and Supernatural Highways, a 30-minute all-instrumental Digipak EP.

Trekonderoga is located in a special place in Ticonderoga, New York. Ti is located on the shores of Lake George and Lake Champlain, on the edge of the Adirondack Mountains, and is rich in American history with the acclaimed Fort Ticonderoga. Nestled here is the Star Trek the Original Series Set Tours. The Set Tours hold a number of events throughout the year, and Trekonderoga is the crown. With our small number of fans, you’ll get the chance to meet our Stars and presenters and join in events in a smaller and more intimate setting than the larger events. But the star of the event is our beautiful Enterprise set. Not only will you walk our meticulously re-created set, you will hear the behind the scenes stories and secrets about the filming of the original series. Our presentations cover a wide variety of topics, ranging from an insider’s look at movie making, to the science of science fiction. Of course, no event is complete without Star Talks and autographs, and vendors, and we have those too. And you’ll have the chance to see the top-rated professional Elvis show put on by the driving force behind Trekonderoga, James Cawley, and his band, The American Longboards.

Looking forward to seeing you here!

After each of our events, people left saying it felt like family. Most importantly: a great time will be had by all!
