REGISTRATION FORM

We work on a wide range of skills and concepts. Students are auditioned on the first day of camp and placed into one of three ensembles. Those ensembles prepare pieces for the Friday night Gala Recital. Besides ensembles, we work on tone, technique, performance issues, stretching, breathing, theory, etc. The students work extremely hard, practicing more than usual, in order to be ready for the big show on Friday night. Most students love the camp for the fun and intensity. Lunch is provided.

    Instructors:
