    Camp Mode!
    We are now entering Camp Mode which means there is a lot of updated info available about this year's camp. Most of it can be found on the About your camp days page. NOTE! Beginners can find their info on the Beginners track page.

    Download your repertoire
    All repertoire is available in the sheet music archive, which you can access via your track page or the repertoire page. Start practicing the repertoire as soon as possible and bring the sheet music to camp. Check the archive periodically to see if any pieces have been added, changed, or removed. For example, Advanced has a second Borodin song, Pre-Advanced will play Vangelis, and Wind & String's Umoja is replaced by Sailing!
