“Since band and orchestra programs were cut in many area elementary schools, we’ve expanded the 2011 Camp Allegro sessions to prepare beginner students for middle school. The two-week session will give beginner band and orchestra students key fundamentals which will be equivalent to six weeks of lessons during school,” explains Camp Director Leon Daughrity.
“Music skills, like reading and math, can fall off over the summer if students don’t practice. Camp Allegro will give intermediate and high school students the chance to expand and refine their musical skills and gain playing experience in a combined band and orchestra setting,” Daughrity adds.
