A wonderful musical opportunity awaits you at the UAB Bands Summer Music Camps at the University of Alabama at Birmingham!

Symphonic Band Camp

(open to current 7th-12th graders)

Event Date: June 7-13, 2026

This year we are once again offering a residential camp experience (8th-12th grade only) alongside our non-residential option. We are incredibly excited to offer you a comprehensive week-long musical experience right here in our own Magic City. The week of fantastic music-making opportunities includes a full band experience, small ensemble participation, and training in music theory, literature, conducting, music technology, and jazz improvisation. In addition, students will have the opportunity to study privately with members of the UAB Music faculty and perform on a world-class stage. For complete information on the camp view brochure.
