This full‑day, supervised music camp is designed for students in Grade 6 and up who have at least one year of experience on wind instruments. Campers will build on existing skill, ensemble technique, and confidence, all while being immersed in a supportive, musical environment rooted in the long‑standing musical legacy of the West Vancouver Youth Band. Highlights include: refine instrument technique and wind performance skills; ensemble playing and music theory fundamentals; guided rehearsals and creative exploration; and opportunities to perform and collaborate with peers. Students will perform on July 10th. This camp is instructed by: Douglas Macaulay, WVYB Principal Conductor (has led the West Vancouver Youth Band for over 30 years, growing it into one of Canada’s longest-running and most respected community youth music programs), and Elizabeth Forrest, Assistant Director of Bands (brings her experience and enthusiasm to introduce young musicians to wind instruments in a fun, supportive setting). Founded in 1930, WVYB is a non-auditioned program offering high-quality music education and performance opportunities for students of all levels. "
