Camper information

What to bring, what we provide, and how sheet music reaches you before camp.

  • Trumpet/Reed/Trombone/Banjo/Guitar players will need to bring their own instruments.
  • Pianos are in each classroom, and each venue has either a piano or electronic keyboard.
  • String basses will be provided for Bass players if they are not bringing there own. No amps are needed or allowed.
  • Drummers need to bring their own cymbals, brushes, sticks, and a clutch. (Clutches can be provided for a $25 deposit.) If you want to use wood blocks, splash cymbals, cowbells, etc. you should bring those as well.
  • Tubas or sousaphones can be provided if you are not bringing your own. Players need to bring their own mouthpiece. A sousaphone is recommended for the second line, please make sure that camp is aware if you need a sousaphone in addition to a tuba.
  • Vocalists are encouraged to bring a recording device to record rehearsal material (most smart phones have recording capabilities and should work fine).
  • Sound recordings and sheet music will be made available when tuition is paid in full. Music should be printed out or downloaded to a tablet.
