Let’s Start a Band is exactly as it sounds—an immersive experience for kids who crave the thrill of playing in a band! Throughout the week, campers will gear up for their debut performance by practicing instruments, writing and learning songs, mastering the art of playing together, selecting a band name, designing a setlist, promoting the show, and more!
Playing in a band is incredibly rewarding and its the reason many of us at Sunburst have been dedicated to music for so long—It's just pure fun! This camp focuses on teamwork and learning to create sounds individually and as a group. Our instructors will guide campers through the fundamentals of playing essential band instruments such as the guitar, bass, keys, drum set, and vocals. When we bring them all together, it'll be music to your ears!
Beginners welcome, we’ll show you what to do!

Camp FAQ
What will campers do during the week?
The main goal for each camp is to prepare songs or work on a performance, recording or other project for the camp concert at the end of the week. Depending on the camp, activities might include band practice, individual and group lessons, songwriting, art projects, and a variety of other enrichment activities.

Does my child need any experience?
Some experience with an instrument and/or private lessons is recommended, but anyone can participate regardless of their skill level. We just ask that beginners show up ready to learn something new!

How long is the camp day?
Camp runs from 9am-3pm every day except for Friday, which runs a little longer. We start the camp concert at 3pm on Fridays and tend to finish around 3:30 or 4:00. In the morning, doors open at 8:45am for early arrivals. In the afternoon we are open for lessons when the camp day ends so campers are welcome to hang out at the school after camp if need be. Please let us know if you have questions or how we can make drop off and pick up work best for your family.

What about lunch?
Campers have the option of packing a lunch, or ordering from Pizza Bellino. In an effort to avoid overwhelming the Pizza Bellino staff during their lunch rush, we plan to order a couple of full pizzas to split between the campers. For $5 we will provide 2 slices of pizza and a drink. We also offer a daily morning snack (pretzels, fruit snacks, water, juice, etc.). Please let us know on the Camper Safety Form if there are any food allergies etc.
