Join us at The University of Southern Mississippi for a week of instruction dedicated to the art of show choir and choral music. Nationally recognized choreographers, music educators and composers will be on our campus to give you the “Southern Experience” of a lifetime. Participants will sing and dance a complete show, and will learn concert choir music as well. We are celebrating our 7th camp and we are planning a great event for the summer of 2015. Don’t miss it! It will be a week like no other!
