I recommend either a full-size concert snare drum stick (Vic Firth SD1, Innovative Percussion IP-LD) or a smaller marching stick (like a Ralph Hardimon Indoor), but any sticks "larger" than 7A will be adequate.

Students will also practice navigating through mock schedules so that they will feel comfortable transitioning from class to class. The 6th Grade Experience is a great way for students to build up tools for success all while having fun!

  • June 3-7 - Drumming Fundamentals, 1 p.m. - 4 p.m. (Grades 7-12)

    Register Today
    Geared towards Middle School and Upper School students that are involved in band, but not limited to those students, this camp is meant to go through fundamentals of drumming, covering technical fundamentals as well as exercises to reinforce and develop those technical fundamentals. These ideas include, but are not limited to, proper body posture, how to hold the sticks/mallets correctly, various types of strokes and rudiments, and exercises designed to reinforce and develop these technical fundamentals and skills.
     
    We'll be learning and practicing several exercises, so the ability to read music, specifically rhythms, is going to be important. Also students should bring their own sticks. I recommend either a full-size concert snare drum stick (Vic Firth SD1, Innovative Percussion IP-LD) or a smaller marching stick (like a Ralph Hardimon Indoor), but any sticks "larger" than 7A will be adequate.

    Does your bicycle have a flat tire? Has the wheel fallen off your sister's trike? Does the chain keep falling off your pedal go-cart? Do you have some other simple mechanical object at home that is broken that you would like to learn how to fix? If you answered yes to any of these questions, then this camp is for you.
    You will learn why things break and, more importantly, how to repair and maintain your bicycle or your simple mechanical objects correctly. This will a very "hands on" camp, learning the science behind bicycle and small mechanical object repair and maintenance.

    Campers will be using popsicle sticks, hot glue guns and other materials to design and build all types of objects and structures that perform different technological tasks. For example, can you build a moving car from just popsicle sticks and a balloon? Or can you build a tower from pasta that will support a heavy object without breaking? Can you build a bridge that will carry a person across a large gap?
    If you think these types of activities are appealing, then this is the camp for you. There will be lots of fun engineering and hands-on activities that focus on problem-solving and team-building skills.
