Our intensive summer day camps prepare students to play the music they love on stage and with a band in just 5 days!
During the camp students work as a member of 3-5 bands, giving them the chance to interact with many other students and learn several songs. They will work with their bandmates in instructor- and student-led rehearsals to prepare music for the concert at the end of the week.
In addition to rehearsals, students will participate in jam sessions and attend daily classes, by instructors and guest artists, selected from the best of the Utah music scene.
The final concert is produced on the stage of one of Utah's finest venues, with lights, fog machines, and a full sound system. Students are encouraged invite their friends and family to attend and see the amazing things they've accomplished in less than a week!
