WE ARE OPEN FOR ENROLLMENT! Our Symphonic Band Camp will run as a Day Camp for this summer July 2021.
Because we will operate as a Day Camp this year, our schedule will be from 8:30am - 4:30 pm July 18-23, 2021.
Our Camp Concert will take place on the grounds of UMass Lowell outside Durgin Hall, under the tent. 6pm Friday July 23rd.
Enrollment is still open - plenty of spots available on all instruments. We will remain open until camp is filled.
We are ecstatic to be able to hold an in-person music camp this summer. All musicians have been craving this moment—when we are able to rehearse and perform together as an ensemble. The camp will run as both an in-person program. We will have Concert Band, offer electives, hold masterclasses consisting of Percussion, Brass or Woodwinds and Jazz Bands, have sectionals as well as mixed chamber ensembles that are a mix of jazz and classical and specialty groups.

HOTEL
We understand that those from out of town may wish to rent a hotel, as UMass Lowell's dorms, dining halls, and hotel will be closed through the summer. A special rate at a local hotel will be set aside for parents of camp participants. Parents may even choose to chaperone multiple participants. They would be responsible for the reservations and the children as this is separate from the camp, but we are thrilled to facilitate the connection with the local hotel willing to offer this. Contact the Sonesta Boston-Lowell-Chelmsford Hotel, located at 30 Industrial Ave Lowell MA 01852 at 978-458-4575 then hit the #5 for the reservation desk (other selections will take you to the national number - avoid such).
INSTRUMENT MASKS AND BELL COVERS (entire instrument covers unnecessary).
Students will be required to use an instrument mask and bell cover if playing indoors. Below are links to sample instrument masks.
