Musician Enrichment Foundation's MEF Band Camp is an exciting opportunity for students entering grades 7-12 (and graduating seniors) to attend a fun and productive week of rehearsals, sectionals, masterclasses and electives designed to enhance all aspects of the campers' musicianship.
Band Camp culminates in a free camper concert at the Tempe Center for the Arts Theater where all students will have the opportunity to perform for family and friends.
The camp will have four large ensembles: Wind Ensemble: A one/two on a part ensemble designed for exceptional high school musicians and graduated seniors 2026, Symphonic Band: A band designed for incoming 9th-12th grade musicians, Middle School Honor Band: A band designed for advanced incoming 8th and 9th graders. (Exceptional incoming 7th graders may be accepted into Middle School Honor Band.), Concert Band: A band ensemble designed for incoming 7-9th graders. Some campers will be selected by their ensemble placement audition to participate in the High School Honor Chamber Ensembles or the Middle School Chamber Ensembles.
Minimum Experience Required for 10th-12th graders/graduating seniors: 2 years of band instruction and for 7th-9th grade: 9 months of band instruction.
Exceptional camp instructional staff includes professors from ASU and Maricopa Community Colleges, members of the Phoenix Symphony, and outstanding directors from high schools, middle schools and private studios.
This project is partially funded by a City of Tempe - Community Arts Grant.
Hear from one of our parents why MEF Band Camp was fantastic for their child: “As a former band member and music teacher, I was extremely impressed by the quality of music-making. I watched my son transform in one week’s time. His eyes were opened to the whole experience of making music in an ensemble. I saw his confidence grow tremendously over one week’s time."
MEF Band Camp is best for 7th - 12th grade students wanting to increase their expertise on their band or orchestra instrument with professional local musicians in a fun day-camp.
