PROVIDING INSTRUMENTS
If you currently use a school instrument, please check with your band director to ensure your use of your school instrument over the summer. Most directors are very happy to allow you to continue using a school instrument but you do need to ask them well in advance. You can rent most instruments for one month for $25.00 from a local music store.

Percussion students will need to bring snare sticks, bell/xylophone mallets, and marimba mallets for camp. Please ask your band director to allow you to borrow these items for camp, if you don't own them. While we cannot guarantee that every item will be used by every percussionist, having these items available will be extremely helpful.

I understand I must provide and bring my own instrument.*

I understand.

AUDIO RECORDING
Online ensemble placement audition music/instructions will be emailed to registered campers in April 2026.

I will be able to submit the ensemble placement audio recording by May 11, 2026.*
