Campus Map
This camp is designed for students who have completed at least 2 years of band and completed 7th or 8th grade. It is built to prepare students for the rigors of high school band, and to get them
on great footing for All-Region preparation. Additionally, we look to be able to identify
students who have basic playing errors and correct those. Junior high camp introduces
electives, which are selected on the first day of camp, as well as optional private
lessons (for a nominal fee) which take place with a qualified instructor on the given instrument. The daily
schedule is more like junior high school, remaining structured at all times. Safety
remains our highest priority.
All fees are due two weeks before the first day of camp. We appreciate your full payment when registering; however, we recognize that sometimes more than one payment is necessary. If you need
to make a second payment, please use the same link (you will be prompted to enter all of the same information for your additional payment,
but this will not generate a second registration - only the payment amount will be
processed).
Please read all information below BEFORE you click the registration button. For best

blanks correctly.
