Symphonic Band Camp (SBC)

The UMass Lowell Mary Jo Leahey Symphonic Band Camp is an incredible and unique opportunity for 8th-12th grade band students. SBC is a residential band camp where students stay on UMass Lowell's campus for one week in July, and study, rehearse, and perform in the UML music department. 

The students learn from UML professors of music, and perform alongside section coaches including local music teachers and college music students. They also expand their knowledge with music theory classes, small ensembles, and interesting electives like conducting, writing and arranging music, sound recording technology, and more.
