About Band Camp:

Join us for Summer Band Camp 2008!  The Southwest Community Concert Band in conjunction with NazArts is offering a Summer Band Camp open to junior high, middle school and incoming freshmen band students. The instructors are dedicated, highly qualified music educators / performers from the Chicago area.  The goal of our Summer Band Camp program is to promote music education through a positive experience structured to help students develop their musical talents.  Band Camp will culminate with a Camp Finale Concert held on Friday evening. 

This week long camp is open to students that are currently enrolled in their school band program and entering grades 6 through 9.  Students may be asked to prepare a short audition for placement purposes.  We will be offering an optional Jazz Band or improvisational classes for interested students.  Band Camp will be supervised by an adult staff and held in the First Church of the Nazarene facilities located at 12725 South Bell Road, Lemont, IL 60439.
