NEVR Beechworth Music Camp

Who goes to camp?
Music students from the NEVR region of country Victoria. Ranging in age from 12 -18.
WHY GO TO CAMP?
1. Skills - Three days of practise at our crafts means we value the notion of improvement. We are better players, and we've broadened our knowledge bases in those crafts.
2. Co-operation - Working together to produce common results - pieces of music that have been performed - has shown yet again the miracle of synergy; - the product is for the greater than the sum of the individual's inputs. Team work is so productive.
3. Self awareness - Each of us as an individual knows more about her or himself - we know that we have the capacity to achieve whatever we aim for. ' I couldn't do that' is meaningless because, with application, I can, I have.
4. Make life long friends with like minded individuals.
What happens at camp?
The NEVR Music Camp runs for three days every year at The Old Priory Beechworth. During the duration of the camp students will choose a main ensemble, Concert Band, Jazz Band, Contemporary Ensemble or String Ensemble. These ensembles will be lead by outstanding conductors and tutors from within the NEVR region focussing on developing skills within playing in an ensemble, working towards performing in our Grand Concert on the final night at the Memorial Hall in Beechworth at 7pm. This is a free concert for all parents and friends.
Students will also come together in a massed choir lead by Lauren Schmutter to learn a contemporary piece to perform together at the Grand Concert as a Finale.
The day is broken up into Ensemble rehearsal, small tutorial groups and Finale rehearsal. 
On the first evening the students participate in a games night and on the second evening the students participate in a talent quest. Students are given time in the afternoon to work with other students rehearsing an act for the talent quest. 
Accommodation 
Students are accommodated in small or large dorm rooms. During the registration process students are encouraged to nominate a friend who is going to camp to share a room with. Boys and girls are accommodated on different floors.
Drop off and pick up times.
There is a bus that transports students from Shepparton and Cobram. Please see your Music coordinator if you are travelling from these areas. More information will be sent after registration.
Otherwise students are encouraged to be at The Old Priory no later than 9pm on the first day of camp. 
Students will be dismissed from the Grand Concert on the final night and picked up by their parents/guardians.
