MUSIC DEPARTMENT

Each camper receives two private lessons a week on any musical instrument desired, with supervised practice periods. Advanced pupils play in the concert orchestra and ensemble groups. Beginners and younger pupils play in the Junior band and orchestra and all may participate in recitals and concert programs.

The concert orchestra composed of students and faculty members gave fifteen concerts last season including programs at Lake Placid, Montreal, Malone, and Plattsburg in addition to those given at camp. Over fifty different compositions were learned and performed, covering works from the great masters to the modern composers of today.

The junior orchestra, band, accordian [[accordion]] and harmonica bands, and various ensemble groups appeared at the Sunday concerts and student recitals.

DANCING

All campers receive instruction in any kind of dancing desired, including acrobatic, ballet, tap and ballroom, without extra charge.

SPORTS
