The All-State Music Camp offers students musical training and experience beyond that available in their home schools, including classroom instruction, master classes, and group instruction in most phases of vocal and instrumental music.
Participants present formal concerts under the direction of nationally recognized conductors.
Performance groups for Week One include three bands, an orchestra, and a chorus. Week Two specialized camps include jazz band, percussion, and organ. The inaugural All-State Jazz Camp will give students opportunities to interact and perform with professional jazz musicians. Courses include three levels of Jazz Improvisation, Jazz Listening, Jazz Theory, Jazz Composition, Combo Performance, and Master Classes. Students enrolled in the All-State Percussion Camp will have the opportunity to study various aspects of percussion in large and small group situations, including marching percussion, concert percussion, mallet percussion, world percussion, steel band techniques, percussion ensemble literature, advanced rudimental snare drumming, and leadership skills for marching percussionists.
