Gatorland Band & Instrumental Music Camps

Gatorland Band & Instrumental Music Camps are designed to offer student musicians the ability to experience the beautiful University of Florida campus, live and learn in our facilities, and get to know the wind and percussion faculty while participating in exciting music learning experiences. All campers are under constant supervision by DCF-certified camp counselors who are also licensed educators.

The three-day Instrumental Music Camp gives students the opportunity to study with UF Studio Faculty and Alumni on individual instrument-specific masterclasses, literature, solo and ensemble and All-State audition music.

The UF Total Musician Band Camp provides an excellent opportunity for musicians with a minimum of one year of study on their chosen instrument to improve their individual performance skills while participating in full-band rehearsals, masterclasses, sectionals, chamber winds, music electives and optional private lessons—all under the guidance of the professional faculty, staff, and distinguished alumni of the University of Florida. Both camps will conclude with a performance in the beautiful University Auditorium.

All Camp attendees will stay in University of Florida dormitories and eat at the fabulous UF dining facilities. This is a wonderful and rare opportunity to make new friends and perform great music in a beautiful venue while receiving world-class instruction at a world-class institution.
