A one week intensive experience to prepare for Evanston’s Battle of the Bands auditions on July 25th. Whether you are into heavy metal or jazz, a singer songwriter or an excellent cover band, this camp will hook you up with Evanston’s extensive music resources. Days will be filled with sharing the music you love, meeting professionals in the field, getting good promo photos for your Myspace page and website, videotaping and critiquing your performance, intense songwriting and lyric writing sessions, and field trips to music nerve centers. Camp participants will work in conjunction with the Cultural Arts Division Starlight and Festival staff to learn more about the planning and production of outdoor live performances and about summer performance opportunities.

This program is a partnership between the Cultural Arts Division and the Youth Engagement Initiative.

Contact Angela Allyn at 847-448-8260 for registration information.
