LOWER REGISTRATION FEE!

Due to construction at the Greensboro Cultural Center our

location will be at the J. Douglas Galyon Depot on W.

Washington which is only 3 blocks from The Music Center.

As a result our schedule is a little different than in the

past. This year only we will have a reduced registration fee

of $70 for all participants.

The band will be led by Peter Perret,

internationally recognized music educator

and conductor of the Winston Salem and

Gate City Horizons Bands, and Paul Manz,

retired conductor of the Prescott POPS

Symphony and instrumental music instructor

in the Prescott Schools.

On Saturday, July 16 students from the

Eastern Music Festival will join us for a

“side by side” rehearsal in the morning.

Eastern Music Festival is providing free

admission to their Friday evening concert.

Sunday morning, July 17 will be an

opportunity to participate in a jazz

ensemble with instructor Keenan

McKenzie. If you are interested in

participating on Sunday morning, please

indicate on your registration form.

The camp will conclude with a free concert

at 4 pm on Sunday, July 17.
