Parents, come to band camp for a day or two!

Band Camp is an incredible environment.  The positive family atmosphere we bring to everyone at the camp is truly life changing.  The band learns the entire show in 7 days while building relationships through living, working, and playing together as one big family.  We already have one or two parents in each bunk at camp, something we do here at Roslyn.  The parent responsibility is simple, to let me or Mr. Coffey know if anyone is missing or if anyone leaves. You are not a policeman, counselor, or disciplinarian, you leave that to the band director and assistant band director, Mr. Coffey and myself.

We totally encourage any parents to come up and check it out for an overnight to see what all the excitement is about.  You would stay in a boys or girls bunk, depending upon if you are male or female.  If you have a child with you (any age below HS age) they may be in a bunk of that same sex as them as well.  You would eat meals with us as well. We don't charge anything for this.  We do have a full slate of parent chaperones so we can only allow additional parents who come to do two days with a night in between so that you can get the full experience.  Camp Taconic is about 4 hours away, in the Berkshires of Massachusetts.  It is a fun area to visit as well.

If you want to come to see the full experience just send me an e-mail at pattersax@gmail.com
