About the Experience:
Band camp offers a workshop-like atmosphere where students will focus on the fundamentals of playing their instruments as individuals and as an ensemble. The camp will help the students to improve their skills in warm-ups, scales, tuning, listening, articulation, dynamics, sight-reading, tone quality, rhythm, and range. Since there is a one-year experience requirement, the camp will not teach students how to play an instrument that is new to them, but rather will help students to refine the skills on the instruments they already play. In addition to playing, the students will have the opportunity to listen and view recordings of professional bands, drum-corps, and orchestras. Students will have fun making music together, building relationships, and getting a head start on their musical skills for the coming school year!
