WHAT IS SMART
BAND CAMP?
The SMART Band Camp is a fun and engaging
experience for young musicians who wish to
enhance their music skills and abilities and learn
from highly professional and motivating
instructors in a relaxed summer atmosphere.
Meeting new friends, individualized instruction,
and ensemble performance are just some of the
highlights of the SMART Band Camp.
Students must have completed one school year
in a Band class before attending camp week 1
and two or three school years in Band before
attending camp week 2. They also must commit
to attending all days of the camp and
participating in the concert at the conclusion of
the final day of camp.
