CAMP DETAILS
WHAT SHOULD I EXPECT THIS SUMMER?
Our goal is to stay safe, have fun, and play music together. Starting in June and going through July, each band will meet 1 to 2 times per week for in-person rehearsals at Seed Co. Studios. We will end with a big rock concert presented at The Granada.
You should register for the camp & sign-up for an audition time. After auditions, we will place you in a band, select songs for your band, and create a rehearsal schedule. Each band will play 4 songs, and have 5 rehearsals. A coach/teacher will be assigned to each band to lead rehearsals and to provide instruction. You will begin learning and practicing your songs on your own before the camp begins.

WANT TO SIGN UP WITH A FRIEND?
Starting a band can be hard. Often, we find ourselves with one or maybe two friends
who want to start a band, but still missing the crucial final member or members. Maybe you still
need a drummer or bassist? Tell us that you want to sign up together and we will build a band around
you with like minded individuals who share your musical interests.
