Camp Information
Arrival and Check-In
- Check-in runs from 1:00 PM to 3:00 PM.
- Follow signs and staff directions at the entrance for where to park and unload gear.
- Counselors and staff are available to help answer questions and support campers during arrival and move-in.
Auditions
Auditions take place on Sunday afternoon shortly after check-in. Campers will play a short excerpt and a few scales so our directors can get to know their playing ability and place them comfortably within their sections. While chairs are assigned, auditions are non-competitive and meant to help create balanced groups.
- Junior Band Campers: will get a section of music to practice prior to their audition and should be prepared to play both 2 octaves of the chromatic scale and basic scales (up to 3 sharps and 3 flats).
- Senior Band Campers: will sight-read a portion of music selected by the auditioner. They should also be prepared to play both 2 octaves of the chromatic scale and basic scales (up to 3 sharps and 3 flats).
