AT THE END OF THE WEEK, THE KIDS WILL PERFORM A LIVE ROCK CONCERT ON FRIDAY AFTERNOON FOR FAMILY AND FRIENDS! THE SET LIST WILL BE DECIDED FIRST THING MONDAY MORNING AFTER STUDENTS ARE INTRODUCED TO EACH OTHER AND THE STAFF. WE WILL DO OUR BEST TO GAUGE WHAT THE KIDS ARE INTERESTED AND WHAT WILL HELP EACH OF THEM PROGRESS THE MOST AS MUSICIANS.
DAILY ACTIVITIES OUR CAMPERS WILL PARTAKE IN:
- TEAM BUILDING EXERCISES, GAMES, AND TRIVIA CONTESTS TO LEARN ABOUT FELLOW "BAND MATE" CAMPERS AND OUR CAMP DIRECTORS.
- SECTIONAL BY INSTRUMENT TO COVER THE FUNDAMENTALS OF PLAYING MUSIC IN A BAND SETTING.
- WORKSHOPS ON VARIOUS TOPICS SUCH AS NOTE VALUES, BLUES IMPROV, STAGECRAFT, MUSIC THEORY, ETC.
