What is Band Camp?

Band Camp is a five-night, six-day residential summer school with a UniBrass twist.

You can look forward to a mixture of rehearsals, sectionals, and workshops with activities and plenty of evening entertainment.

Participants will take part in performances across the local area alongside our stellar team of tutors, culminating in an end of course finale at St Mary Redcliffe in Bristol!
