Nick Rail Summer Band Camp 2025

The camp time above is for all levels 8:30-12:30pm. Below are the times dependent on your level. Students might participate all day if they want to play two instruments at different levels. Also, we will have a dedicated camp counselor to watch students who need to come early or stay late (in that window of 8:30-12:30pm).

Level 1 (8:30am to 10:30am)  A wonderful place to start! If you’ve never played a band instrument, or need a refresher on note reading, this is the place for you! First hour is spent in sectionals with an instrument specialist and the second hour is spent in concert band.

Level 2 (10:30am to 12:30pm)  Students at this level can comfortably read and play notes for their chosen instrument (perhaps after writing in note names). Also, advanced students might start a second instrument at this level. First hour is spent in sectionals with an instrument specialist and the second hour is spent in concert band.

Level 3 (8:30am to 10:30am) Aimed at Junior High School students, members of this ensemble can play in multiple keys, and are ready to try jazz and other full band pieces. First hour is spent in concert band and the second hour is spent in sectionals with an instrument specialist.

 Level 4 (10:30am to 12:30pm) Aimed at High School students, members of this ensemble are ready to play difficult jazz arrangements and complex band pieces. First hour is spent in concert band and the second hour is spent in sectionals with an instrument specialist.
