Camp description:
Ages 8-16
LJMA's Voice Intensive Performance Camp is a 3-week vocal camp specializing in a cappella singing and beatboxing. Training culminates in a featured performance at Universal Studios on the City Walk stage!
Our camp is split into three training groups: Beginner, Intermediate, and Advanced. All new campers are placed at the Beginner level unless they wish to audition for a more advanced placement. Audition times for these campers will be sent after sign-up.
Training is vigorous. Homework is set each day and campers are expected to practice after camp each night to prepare for the following day. Campers learn how to sing or beatbox like Pentatonix and Pitch Perfect. This camp is fully a cappella, requires performers to learn choreography, and is aimed at performers with strong vocal ability and experience.
Beginner Level:
-
Brand new to harmonizing/beatboxing
Intermediate Level:
-
Must have experience in harmonizing, ideally two years of choir experience
Advanced Level:
-
Must have at least 2 years of a cappella experience or 4 years in advanced choir
Rehearsal info:
-
Campers are expected to arrive with all required material for their group memorized by the first day of camp.
-
New songs will be taught during rehearsals to individual groups and everyone will come together for games, warm-ups, and aerobics.
-
Three intense weeks are spent preparing a 30-minute show to be performed on the big stage.
-
You will learn harmonies and choreography, audition for solos, and participate in voice warm-ups and aerobics.
-
Class is taught by industry professionals to ensure a high-quality performance is produced.
-
Campers are expected to practice when they get home and be ready for the following day.
-
After sign-up is completed, campers will be sent a Dropbox folder by May 1st with all the practice materials required for the camp.
COLOR WAR MONDAYS
-
Every Monday, we meet at the local park where obstacle races, team-building games, and activities are set out to grow the group as a team, build friendships, and make lifelong memories. This allows campers to instantly create bonds with each other and turn up the next day no longer nervous and ready to rehearse. Campers are split up into teams to work together for points and the winning team is treated to frozen yogurt at the end of the day.
-
Campers are required to wear casual clothes on Mondays that can get messy. Face paint will be applied and campers are likely to get wet and dirty. After Mondays, we transition into hard-core rehearsals for the rest of the week.
Farmers Market Show info:
-
This is a free show where all family members can attend who might not be able to see the show at Universal. We perform at the local farmers market on Main Street in the main performance square.
FINAL PERFORMANCE show info:
-
All Campers meet in the morning at Universal Studios for sound check and dress rehearsal.
