4th Annual Mansfield University Brass Band Camp

Post by threedognate »

The 2015 MU Brass Band Camp is a 4-day, 3-night musical experience at Mansfield University in the Endless Mountains of north-central Pennsylvania. Dates have been set for Sunday, July 12 through Wednesday, July 15, 2015. Finale Concert on July 15 at 4:00pm. Ages 14-19.

Participants in this camp get opportunities to play side-by-side with members of the MANSFIELD UNIVERSITY BRASS BAND in all settings – full band rehearsals, chamber ensembles, sectionals, and master classes. The focus on this camp is the traditional brass band – experiencing the unique sound of the brass band, gaining exposure to a wide variety of brass repertoire, and engaging in an overview of some of the history and common practices of traditional brass bands. Campers will spend up to four hours each day in brass band rehearsals, as well as time working with faculty and staff in master classes, sectionals, and chamber ensembles. The finale concert on July 15 will feature the full brass band as well as a variety of smaller brass ensembles. Campers, faculty, and staff will also have an opportunity to perform solo repertoire at the camp solo recital, Tuesday, July 14.

Information regarding the camp and registration procedures can be found at http://www.mansfield.edu/camps/music-ca ... -band-camp. Contact Dr. Nate Rinnert (nrinnert@mansfield.edu" target="_blank" target="_blank) with questions.
