Summer Band Camps

One of my favorite parts of being a band student in junior high was going to university-sponsored band camps with my friends. Students can either stay in the college dorm and eat in the college cafeteria for the duration of camp or commute each day. The universities provide full group and small group instruction during the day and activities at night. Each band will present a concert at the end of the camp. They are a fun way to keep playing our instruments over the summer.

Some of the registration deadlines are approaching quickly, so check them out soon!

There are several band camps in the area that are worth checking out:
TCU Band Camp
UTA Band Camp
If you want to travel a little farther ....
Texas Tech Band Camp
Stephen F Austin Band Camp (I attended this one in HS)
University of Houston Band Camp
Sam Houston State University Band Camp

There are also some instrument-specific opportunities to explore:
Floot Fire
Bocal Majority & Operation OBOE
TCU Summer Clarinet Workshop
Low Brass Camp (Heavy Metal) (New 5/30)
