BAND CAMP PROGRAM
The Saskatchewan Band Association has established this program to provide a summer band camp opportunity for Saskatchewan students at a reasonable cost. Day camps are offered in Regina, Saskatoon and Yorkton, with Regina and Saskatoon offering optional overnight dorming. The Kenosee Camp is a full residential camp offered at Clearview Camp in beautiful Kenosee Lake Provincial Park.
Junior Camps: Student who have completed one year of playing up to and including grade 9.
Senior Camps: Grades 9 - 12
Each camp offers comprehensive instruction for woodwind, brass and percussion students who have one or more years of playing experience.
The camps are designed to assist in the improvement of performance skills that relate directly to the positive experiences of playing in a large ensemble.
Students will be assigned to a band on the first morning of camp, according to their musical experience and performance ability. Saskatoon Junior, Yorkton, and Kenosee are camps for junior students up to and including students who have completed grade 8. Saskatoon Senior camp is for students who have completed grade 8 and up. Regina camp offers bands for all levels of junior and senior students. Students must have completed at least one year of band.
The camps include full band, private lessons, sectional instruction, small ensembles, master classes, theory, ear training, rhythm training, sight-reading, staff performances, recreation and social activities, and a final students' public concert.
JAZZ OPTION
Camps may offer a Jazz component. This option will be for interested students who have at least one year of experience in a Jazz Band.
RECREATION
It is not all work at SBA Camps. Although music is the focus, recreation and fun are an essential ingredient in the overall camping experience. In addition to breaks and free time, each day, a wide-array of planned activities keep students active and involved. Depending on the particular camp, students participate in a wide variety of activities during scheduled recreation periods. The fun continues into the evening with activities such as dances, movies, student talent night, faculty recitals and other concerts.
The camp provides an excellent way for students to learn new musical and technical skills, make new friends, have fun, and improve sound and
technique.
ROOM & BOARD
Saskatoon and Regina - optional additional cost - $275
Room and Board for the Saskatoon and Regina Camps will be provided for those who choose and will be fully supervised by camp staff. The cost includes meals and accommodation for the duration of the camp.
