Jazz Camp

We’re excited to announce that the Colorado Springs Youth Symphony Association will be holding not just one, but TWO jazz band camps this summer! This year's exciting addition is a middle school program. The big bands are for middle and high school students, incoming grades 6-12. If you play alto sax, tenor sax, bari sax, trumpet, trombone, piano, guitar, bass guitar, vibes, or drums you can sign up for the bands! If you have high school experience, please sign up for the HS camp (9am-12pm). If you have middle school experience or NO HS experience, come for the afternoon MS session (1-3pm)! You don't need to have any jazz experience to join the MS band, just a solid year or more of experience on your instrument. The CSYSA Jazz Big Band Camp is a 5-day summer experience that allows students a chance to play in an excellent big band, be exposed to great jazz literature of varying styles, play in sectionals led by experienced players and educators, learn jazz theory, and give a concert at the end of the week.
