Percussion Camp

This camp is open to ages 12-18 (campers who are 18 and have not yet matriculated at a college are eligible to attend camp). No audition is required; all levels are welcome, although it is recommended that participants have at least one year of prior study on snare drum. All students will receive instruction on snare, drum set, timpani, mallets, world percussion, steel drums, and concert percussion. A short placement audition may be held on the first day of camp. Housing is provided in Butler University's ResCo dorm, which is air-conditioned. Dorm check-in is 7:00-9:00 p.m. on Sunday evening; check-out is after the recital on Thursday. It is generally recommended that younger campers attend as commuter students if this is their first camp experience. Commuter campers check into camp at 8:30 a.m. Monday and attend camp from 9:00 a.m.-5:30 p.m. each day. Camper information packets containing additional scheduling information, what to bring and where to report will be emailed to all participants approximately two weeks prior to camp. Registration form and $50 non-refundable deposit due by May 1; remaining tuition is due in full by June 1 for all campers, both residential and commuter. Payments can be made online by selecting "Make a Payment" on the BCAS homepage. All refund requests must be submitted via email to BCAS@butler.edu. No refunds will be issued after June 1. Late applications may be accepted on the basis of available space. Need-based scholarships are available for ages 18 and under; you may apply for scholarship on the camp registration form OR complete the separate Scholarship Application Form. NOTE: Residential campers who enroll for Total Percussion Camp AND Snare and Tenor Camp may stay in the dorm from Thursday evening until check-in for Snare and Tenor camp on Friday for an additional dorm and meal fee.
