Being outdone by a rock band of 11 year olds

At a BBQ with a band composed of very confident 11 year old girls.  When did things start so early?  Will it be 4 year old prodigies forming a band next??
Not that I mind, being musically inclined myself, but is it the whim of the parents....like stage mom stuff? or do the kids wake up one day at 6 years old and say "hey parental units, I want to be a rock star by the time I'm 11! "?

Anyway, the kids were great and I salute the parents for recognizing their talent and encouraging the Chucky Cheeze generation to get up and play their hearts out. Rock On!
