Dear Parent/Guardian/Student,
I am writing to you to invite your rising 7th/8hgrade student to consider joining our Summer Music Enrichment & Marching Band Camp at Milford Mill Academy.
We are looking for BEGINNERS with NO skills needed to participate, and students with prior experience in band. Color guard (Flags), and dance line will hold tryouts towards the end of the camp. Time/date TBA.
You do not have to play a musical instrument to attend. We will teach you everything you need to know if you are willing to learn.
If you wish to participate in Marching, Concert, Jazz, Percussion ensemble, or any other instrumental performance group you should attend the camp set up for you.
Our camp is filled with exciting, musical, social, and physically rewarding itineraries of enrichment for all participants.
Our Purpose: The MMA Band Camp is designed to prepare the Band for fall and spring Concert Band, Athletic Band competitive field shows, Jazz Band, and more. Our Camps are designed to train students in the skills of music reading, physical fitness, and visual performance, including outdoor precision marching.
Marching Band camp is mandatory for those who wish to participate in fall Athletic Band performances at Milford and current Milford Students only, students are expected to attend every day. If you have a conflict that requires special consideration, please contact Mr. Barnes via email: at Milfordmillband@gmail.com, hbarnes@bcps.org, or call 443-809-0629 Band Office.
