Summer camp overview/schedule:
Morning sessions consists of learning and rehearsing of songs to be performed.
Sessions start at 10am and end at 1:00 for lunch with a break around 11:30.
Music notation, learning by ear, chord charts, song lyrics and tabs ( for guitar and bass players) are used to help the students learn the songs.
During the first session, songs are listened to and discussed to decide which ones can be learned and perform with the one week time frame.
With input from everyone and the band director decision, final song choices are made.
The rest of the week’s morning session will mainly consist of learning adding songs to the set list and rehearsal of previous songs.
On Wednesday, set lists start to form and by Thursday band names are selected. Also by Wednesday and Thursday, performance aspects of the set is discussed and rehearsed.
