I hope everyone is having a great summer! Band Camp is just a few days away!

Instrument assignments for band camp are listed below. Please note that all of the grade 7 students were accommodated this year with their first or second instrument choice. Changes to instrument selections cannot, unfortunately, be made for band camp. I encourage students to keep an open mind, be prepared for new challenges, make new friends, and to have fun learning to play a new instrument next week!

*If you have any questions or concerns, please contact me at ampeters@edu.pe.ca so that we can take care of it before camp begins on Monday.  Thank you!

Hi everyone,

I hope your summer is going well 🙂

Just a quick note regarding the upcoming band camp. The decision was made by the organizers to invite beginner percussionists to stay for a full day of band camp in order to provide students with an opportunity to play along with the intermediate bands. There was some confusion about this amongst the band directors this year, and for that I apologize. If your new percussionist is unable to stay for full days, please just let me know.

A full list of registered campers (beginner, intermediate, and senior) including beginner instrument assignments, will be posted here at the beginning of next week.

Please find below the welcome message from Kirsten MacLaine which she also sent by e-mail on August 8th:

Welcome to our 2023 Central Area Band Camp! 

We are excited to make music with you at camp!  As you prepare for camp, please review the following information.  

General Information

Dates: Monday, August 21st – Friday, August 25th, 2023  

Location: Stonepark Intermediate School, 50 Pope Avenue, Charlottetown

Time:

Beginners* (1st year) – 9:00 am – 11:30 am

Intermediate and Advanced (2nd, 3rd and 4th year) –  9:00 – 3:00 pm

*Beginner Percussion:   You will be assigned to an intermediate band with your friends from school, so you are still considered intermediate (2nd year)  and will stay at camp until 3:00 pm. 

Transportation:

Parents are responsible for transportation to and from camp, and carpooling is strongly encouraged.  Please drive with caution while navigating the school parking lot and follow the one-way directional signage and directions from camp staff.  A lot of traffic is expected, and we appreciate your patience and understanding.  Should you wish to drop your camper off a bit earlier, they are welcome to wait in front of the building until the doors open at 8:55 am, however, they will not be supervised.

What to bring with you to camp:

• Beginners:   Please bring a water bottle and a nut-free snack.  Your band instrument, music, and a pencil will be provided at camp.

• Intermediate/Seniors:   Please bring a water bottle, a nut-free snack, and a nut-free lunch.  You are also responsible to bring your band instrument, your music, and a pencil will be provided.  Band campers will not be permitted to leave school property to buy lunch, so please bring everything you need with you.

Band Camp Gives Back:

Band camp will be holding our empty egg carton collection for the PEI Humane Society once again this year.  The beginner sectional class and the intermediate/senior band who bring in the most empty egg cartons will each win the opportunity to push a whipped cream pie in the face of the band camp staff member of their choice!  It’s a lot of fun, and it helps out our local animal shelter.

Friday Celebration Concerts:

We encourage all of our families and friends to join us, and help us celebrate all we have learned during camp, on Friday, August 25th in the Stonepark school gym.

• Beginner concert:  11 am

• Intermediate/Advanced concert:  1 pm

Camper absence:

If your camper will be absent from camp on any day, please email ktmaclaine@edu.pe.ca to let us know before 9am.

If your camper is no longer planning to attend camp, we ask that you please inform us.  As camp staffing has been planned based on current enrollment, we regret that there are no refunds should your plans have changed.

Additional information and contact email addresses can be found on our band camp website:

We look forward to seeing you at camp!
