On the first day, please arrive up to 20 min early so that we have time to welcome each camper and you can meet your coach and band members! On all following days, please arrive between 5-10min before the start of camp. Our staff will check students in at the lobby so that parents can drop off at the building entrance.
Please be on time so that your band can begin rehearsal on time!

Campers not allowed to leave for lunch should pack a lunch with drinks, snacks, and anything they will need. They will not be able to leave and purchase anything once the camp day starts.

Each Rock Band session is new and different – because you are connecting with different band members and working on different songs! We have many students who stay for multiple sessions!
No problem! Select “Reserve Instrument” on your sign-up form for $60 per session and we will have an instrument waiting for your child.
Rock Band students are not able to leave instruments overnight because we do not have a dedicated locked space.
