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 Estevan Camp is a full residential camp offered at Clearview Camp in beautiful Kenosee Lake Provincial Park.
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 per-formance ability. Regina and Saskatoon camps offer both junior and senior bands.
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.
