Get fired up to lead your high school band and take your leadership and conducting skills to the next level! These camps bring together experts in music education and leadership who will prepare you for your role as a high school Drum Major. You’ll also experience a few days in the life of Pacific Crest, even getting the opportunity to conduct the drum corps! Open to all current and prospective Drum Majors.
WHAT CAMP PARTICIPANTS HAVE TO SAY
“One of the best experiences of my leadership career!”
“I am amazed by what I learned in three days and can’t imagine how much more I could get out of another camp.”
“The camp gives you more than one way of leading your band rather than the ‘right and only way’ of being a Drum Major.”
“It’s like learning all the secrets from the successful.”
Camp Staff | Curriculum
Drum Major Online Course
Our online Drum Major Leadership Course is perfect for those who want to audition for their high school drum major position. If you were selected as a drum major for the fall, this course will help prepare you, as well. Powered by e-Adjudicate’s How To Series, the course includes lessons to develop individual leadership styles, as well as how to work with leadership teams, staff, and volunteers within your marching band. Students will learn various conducting patterns, break down scores, and complete the course with a conducting exercise. A certificate of completion will be issued upon completion.
