Flashback 🔙 to Camp Merit last month! ☀️
Over 70 kids joined us for a fun-filled two weeks as part of the Camp Merit band, orchestra, and choir. When the students weren’t rehearsing with the ensembles, they had the chance to try their hand at different electives like African Drumming and Intro to Conducting. The music in this video was composed in this year’s Intro to Songwriting class—you’re listening to “Club Merit” by Elaeth K.! 👏👏👏
After two weeks of making music and memories, the kids got to show off their hard work in a fantastic final day performance. 🤩
It’s summer camp season! 🌞 Last week’s Trombone Camp led by Timothy Riordan was filled with laughs, excitement, and great music. Check out some of the fun selections from their final performance! 🎶
