beginning Band boot camp Info:
Beginning Band students are highly encouraged to attend our Beginning Band Boot Camp. Boot Camp runs every other day Aug 19th – Sept 6th after school. Camp tuition is $60.00 and includes seven 1-hour instrument specific classes with some of the best instructors in the area. (that’s only $8.58/hour for instruction with professionals who usually charge $25+ for a half hour lesson!) Boot Camp allows each student to get a head start on their instrument with instruction from a specialist on that instrument. This gives our students the opportunity for more individualized instruction on their specific instrument than they would receive in their woodwind and brass classes because of class sizes and combined instrumentation. Below, you will find information for this year's Boot Camp. Be sure to register soon--you won't want to miss out on this great opportunity and amazing program! You'll be excited to get get to know your section, make new friends, play music and get a head start on your instrument plus have a ton of FUN!
