CAMP IS FULL Once again, the Junior Fife and Drum Camp has filled up quickly!! We will continue to take registrations for our waiting list. Anyone who is placed on the waiting list will be notified if a space becomes available. Placement on the waiting list will be based on the order in which the registration was received. AUDITION VIDEOS NEEDED Audition videos may accompany your regisration or sent any time BEFORE May 31, 208. All campers are encouraged to do an audio/video. However, this does not mean that if we do not get a video you will not be able to come to camp. It will help us to place you in a compatible music group so you get the most out of camp! If you do not send an audio/video you will automatically be placed in the group with the least amount of experience. Audition requirements can be downloaded here. Audition music is available here in the Library! |
