Rehearsal Descriptions & Class Rotations
📸 Professional Headshot
Each camper will receive a professional headshot taken during camp — perfect for choir programs, theater auditions, and personal use. Headshots will be delivered digitally after camp at no additional cost.
🎶 Ensemble Rehearsal
Students rehearse their small-group a cappella piece, focusing on harmony, rhythm, blend, and teamwork. Campers learn how individual voices come together to create a cohesive, confident ensemble sound while preparing music for the final performance. Rehearsals will focus on ensemble listening skills—how to adjust volume, vowel shape, and tone to blend with others. Students learn how great a cappella groups achieve a unified sound by listening as much as they sing.
All campers participate in a large-group festival chorus, learning a shared song that celebrates unity, teamwork, and joy. This ensemble performs together during the final show, creating a powerful, inclusive moment for singers and families.
