Concert Band & Chamber Music
Based on the student’s preferences, every Hamp's Camper will participate in two different large ensembles, a chamber ensemble, and the Hamp’s Camp Ensemble. Each of these ensembles will be coached by our faculty and staff members. These ensembles can be from multiple concentrations — for example, a student could choose to perform in concert band, jazz ensemble, and a chamber ensemble — and our schedule is setup to accommodate a student with a variety of interests. If a pre-formed chamber ensemble plans to attend, please contact us via email about receiving a discount on camp tuition.
Winds, Brass and Percussion
The band program at the Lionel Hampton Music Camp offers instrumentalists the opportunity to play in daily rehearsals in which they will prepare a variety of repertoire, work with faculty members from the Lionel Hampton School of Music, participate in master classes and sectionals with studio professors, and give a final performance at the end of the week.
Band and instrumental faculty at the University of Idaho will be leading rehearsals, coaching chamber ensembles, and giving master classes. Please see our faculty page to view our currently scheduled faculty roster. If you do not see a faculty member for your instrument, please contact us to find out who will be teaching that instrument for this coming summer.
