Presenting Halloween Band Camp Madness…

This camp has been set up and will be run by students who study music performance at third level in DIT Conservatory of Music and who are also members of the Ardee Concert band. The camp is for children and teenagers between the ages of 9-16. It will run from the 31st October until the 4th of November in the Bohemian centre in Ardee and is open to any woodwind, brass or percussion player.

The week will run from Monday until Friday with a short free concert on Friday evening at 4 o clock. The course will run from 11am-3pm each day apart from Monday where it will run from 10-3. Each day will consist of a practice in the morning, lunch (child to bring their own packed lunch each day), fun activities and sectionals/ rehearsal after the activities. This week gives young members an opportunity to play music that they haven’t played before and also an opportunity to meet new friends and play with other members from different bands. We held an Easter camp earlier in the year which was a great success. The children got the opportunity to make new friends, play new fun music, got sectionals with players studying music at third level, played games each day and most importantly got more confident in their playing abilities. This time the camp will have more surprises and more fun activities planned.

The course will cost €45.00 per child, €65.00 for two family members or €95.00 for three family members involved.

Please fill out the attached form and return along with payment to John Gaynor or Kevin Reilly at band rehearsals. You can also return to your child’s tutors when lessons resume or give back to myself no later then the 19th of October. You can also return the forms along with payment to my address, which is Aisling Reilly, 2 Riverbank, Ardee, Co. Louth.

If you have any questions about the camp please don’t hesitate to call me on 0862238794.
