instrument and the book. Due to instrumentation requirements in the elementary and middle school
programs and physical considerations, the parents of each beginning student should contact their local
elementary or middle school band director for assistance in selecting the appropriate instrument for their
child. Due to instrumental considerations, no students will be started on or switched to saxophone
during the band camp.

REGULAR PROGRAM: For students with at least one year of band experience. The class schedule will
include two full band rehearsals, a full sectional rehearsal, and a class with a specialist on the students
instrument. The band music will be supplied by the camp. However, the instrumental specialists may
