Music Camp
Mon 23 - Wed 25 June
'CYC The Island', Cowes
The Event for Music Camp is now up on Compass. It is expected that all Instrumental Music students attend Music Camp with consent and full payment (or commencement of payment plan) required by 15th May.
Music Camp is a significant part of our curriculum and provides the only opportunity for all students within our ensembles to participate together in intense rehearsals, workshops, team building exercises and performances where they will further develop their skills in musicianship, teamwork, and leadership. Though running costs for camps have significantly increased, Music Camp remains a highly subsidised event to ensure that all students can participate. Please go to the Compass Event for more information. Here is a glimpse of last year's Music Camp:
