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:
