Have you considered a summer camp for band?

I want to encourage you to consider spending a week with other student musicians at a summer band camp. You'll spend a week playing great music, making new friends, and plenty of other fun activities, too! Two great camps happen right here in Georgia:

• Encore! Summer Band Camp is June 19-23 at Georgia State College and University in Milledgeville, GA. For more info: https://encorebandcamp.com/

• The University of Georgia School of Music hosts a music camp AND a marching band leadership camp. Both are in June and take place on their campus in Athens. For more info: https://music.uga.edu/summer-music-camps
