"The Kirkwood Band Program is not just something that you leave at school as soon as the final bell rings. It's not just a band class and an occasional pep rally.

Beginning Band Camp &
Middle School Band Camp
Beginning Band Camp (June 7-17) is for any current 5th grade/incoming 6th grade student. If you started playing virtually this year, we encourage you to join us! If you did not start this year and would like to start in person this summer, we would love for you to join us! New beginners will be introduced to instrument assembly, note and rhythm reading and tone production. Students who played this year will expand on these skills and more. Everyone will learn some fun songs and give an outdoor performance for family members on the last day of camp.
Middle School Band Camp (June 14-18) is for rising 7th and 8th grade students who have already been playing in band for at least a year. Students will work with our expert faculty on instrument-specific techniques and repertoire, polish skills, learn new musical concepts, increase confidence and make new friends. We will give an outdoor performance for family members on the last day of camp.
