Choir Camp 2014
22nd Annual Diocesan Choir Camp, Brenham, TX July 6-12, 2014 After 22 years as the Diocesan Choir Camp, we are excited to expand the scope of our summer event to be “Music Camp,” including private and group instrumental lessons. The camp is open to all those who love music in rising grades 3-8. Our Camp staff has already included Dr. Wendy Bergin, a member of St. Peter’s, Brenham and a professional orchestra conductor and flute and recorder teacher. Wendy has offered recorder lessons to our choristers as part of the camp for the past few years.
This year, instrumentalists can enroll for an instrumental track that will combine with our sung offerings at the end of the week. Last year’s team of Garmon Ashby of Episcopal High School, Jackson Hearn of Good Shepherd, Kingwood and Linda Patterson of St. Peter’s, Brenham will lead the week’s activities. Swimming, pottery, art lessons, games and field trips for outreach and recreation will be included in the camp schedule. No previous choral experience is necessary for the choral track, but experienced choristers will be challenged
by optional descants and part singing. Recorder players and experienced instrumentalists are welcome, as well as those who would like to learn to play the recorder. Tuition is $450, with scholarships available. To register, visit the Diocesan website www.epicenter.org/musiccamp-registration Continued on page 3
