Summer Band/Music Camps
As you may imagine, band is not merely a class but a wholesome, creative alternative activity to some possible negative or not so constructive summer activities. Please encourage your son or daughter to continue to play their instrument over the summer. Please do not turn in their instrument for the summer. These days, there are many very fun CD play along books at our local music stores, including some worship play along books. Click the hyperlink to view some examples on the SCA band website. Or, view the summer music camps below.
Camps arranged by state for all levels, beginner to post graduate and professional. |
