Snare Camp Curriculm Drum! Drum ! Drum! This camp will present a chance for intermediate and advanced level snare drummers to focus on snare technique and ensemble playing. You'll work with some of the best marching snare drummers in the activity, and you'll drum from sun-rise to sun-set! By the end of camp, you'll even see yourself playing side by side with the 2006 Phantom Regiment snare line. A complete focus on snare line playing, you'll have no distractions from other sections. If you intend to play snare drum at the highest level drum corps or college band, this camp is a great way to immerse yourself in snare playing. Snare drums will be provided by the Pearl Drum Company, bring your own snare stand and sticks (though you'll leave with a pair of Paul Rennick signature snare sticks from Innovative Percussion). Come ready to drum! Frequently asked questions What if my parents want to visit? Your parents are welcome to visit at anytime during the camp.
