Music Camps
Directors and students look forward to the Music Camps every fall. We are currently planning them in some capacity in September (see the schedule to save the date).
While it is unlikely that we will be able to travel to our camps and stay overnight, we are instead planning to hold them at school during the day on those same weekends. While the location is not the same as last year, the directors will teach and share their knowledge and make music just as before. All of the learning, bonding, and fun that happens will still happen in new ways. We are working out the details and will be communicating updates and changes through our usual communication channels.
-
Band Camp: September 11th - 13th
-
Orchestra Camps: September 18th - 20th
-
Choir Camp: September 25th - 27th
Know that the BPA and Directors are working to keep up with the changes for school, activities, and SPS plans for the fall. While we are making modifications to our fall schedule we are continuing to make plans.
