Camp sessions are held primarily in the Fine Arts Building and Texas Hall. Meals are at The Commons and the student dorm is West Hall.

Students will audition when they arrive at camp. Commuters will begin auditioning around 2pm and then depart after the all-camp meeting at 5pm. Boarders will audition after they check-in at the dorm. Auditions will take place in the Fine Arts Building for 1 or 2 judges. Counselors will be available to help guide students from the West Hall dorm to the Fine Arts Building.

Please refer to the audition packet you receive after registering for specific details about what to prepare. The music gets progressively harder and is not suitable for every player. Younger students do not have to prepare every part of the audition packet.

Remember that camp is here to have fun and learn! The audition is simply so we can put you in a band that best suits your currently playing level. Everyone will be placed in a band.

Commuting students will arrive at the Fine Arts Building at 2pm on Sunday. Students can be dropped off/picked up each in the turnaround at Texas Hall just south of the Fine Arts Building. More specific instructions will be sent the week prior to camp.

The electives for 2024 will include conducting, electronics, jazz, and chamber music. The chamber music elective is geared towards our more experienced students and is by audition only. All electives will be chosen once students arrive at camp.

Please be sure this is noted on your transportation form. Only students who have parental permission to leave and have cleared the absence with the camp director will be allowed to miss any portion of camp.

Meals are included for students who are boarding. Commuting students can bring lunch from home or purchase a lunch package for $40 at registration. Students are not allowed to leave campus for lunch.

In all likelihood, yes as all rooms have 2 beds. However, since we have a large age range of students at camp, we make sure to place students who are approximately the same age together. Many students discover some of their best friends at camp and will often request the same roommate the following year!

We have multiple counselors including full-time band directors and college students who will supervise students during free time at the dorms. The dorm is typically divided with one wing or floor designated for a specific gender. Students are not allowed in rooms of the opposite sex at any time. There are plenty of common areas where students can congregate and socialize.
