First time summer camp clinicing

Posted by SaxDude on 5/20/2025, 7:44 am

Hi YB!

I have been asked to clinic a local summer camp junior high level band next month. This will be my first time as the lead conductor at this particular camp. We have three days and then a performance.

What are some of your favorite JH leveled pieces for this type of performance?

Any tips and tricks that you have learned along the way?

I am open to any input. Thanks and good luck during last week of school chaos!

Keep in mind most of the kids going to said camp were born between 2006 and 2013. The 1960s to them is as long ago as the 1920s is to a typical Gen Xer.

Would you have wanted to do "Minstrel Show Superhits" in your band camp?

The 1990s is oldies.
