Grade 7 Band Trip to Camp Arnes - October 16-17, 2024 *confirmed dates*
This trip is important for all students to attend, as we will be working on our team building and playing skills in preparation for the band concert and our regular classes. Professional clinicians are hired to come and work with students at camp and a guest conductor joins us on the second day at camp to work with students in full band. This is a supplementary learning activity - this trip is meant to supplement and compliment what is taught in the classroom. This trip provides students with a different learning environment to improve their playing skills in smaller, more individualized groups, with music specialists and teachers. Students also get to take part in activities like a hayride, bonfire and marshmallow roast, Instincts for Survival outdoor game, and other great teambuilding exercises! The main goal of this trip is for students to build confidence in their playing skills and challenge themselves to grow as learners. Learning is the main goal, but this trip is also a LOT OF FUN!! I look forward to taking the Grade 7 band to Camp Arnes in October!
