This performance-based experience will challenge and encourage you to stretch your musical abilities. Everyone participates in at least one large ensemble (band, choir, or orchestra); participation in a second large ensemble is possible, as well. You will complete your day by attending the elective classes you choose. Two private lessions are included with camp tuition.
