Does my child have to be proficient on his or her instrument?

No, Band Dynamics has programs for all levels of ability from beginners through advanced players. We ask that all students have at least 6 months experience on their primary instrument prior to attending camp. At the very minimum, young musicians should have basic instrument knowledge.

*** Don’t have 6 months experience? Call us for details on how to get up to speed before camp begins! ***

What if my child has never played in a band?

That’s fantastic! Band Dynamics provides the perfect environment necessary to ensure every camper gets the best rock band experience. Camp staff makes sure all the musicians are grouped in bands according to their level of knowledge so everyone has the best experience possible.

Who will be in my child’s band?

All musicians are grouped according to their ability.

Does my child need to provide his/her own instrument?

Guitarists and bassists need to bring their own instruments. Drummers will be provided with practice drums for drum instruction sessions and drum kits will be provided for band practice and performances. Keyboards will be provided and vocalists only need to bring themselves. Band Dynamics will provide the guitar and bass amps as well as mics and a PA system.

How are songs selected?

Band Dynamics pre-selects a list of songs and then groups them based on how challenging they are to play. Each band will get a list to choose from based on their musical ability. Everyone will be playing rock and roll by the end of the week!

How can we get a copy of the Friday night band performance?

Band Dynamics will make a DVD of the entire performance. Order forms deadline is Friday at parent pick up.
