Greenhorn Summer Camp 2023

Hey Y’all! Come and play with Greenhorn Community Music Project at this year’s summer camp. We’ll play some old favorites, learn some new repertoire and perform for Honk! BC at Grandview Park on July 21st. We’ll also have some other creative activities sure to include favourites like tag, busking, composing original music and printing custom t-shirts.

Performance workshops are held Monday July 15 through Friday July 19th. They run from 10 am to 2 pm at šxʷqʷeləwən ct, Britannia Community Centre. Some instruments are available for loan at no charge. You can indicate which instrument you’d like to borrow on the registration form.

We will also perform at Honk! BC at Grandview Park on July 21st. There will also be opportunities to help out with collecting donations, selling 50/50 tickets and with the DIY art table.

So, this is a first ever: we’re setting the start date for our next session as Sept 17, 2018. Hope to see you all there and please bring all your closest friends and enemies.

As much as possible, we will continue to follow the 2018/2019 VSB school calendar and provide exemplary programming for new instrument learners as well as provide instruments whenever possible.

Oh and there’s tag. And parades. And sometimes sushi and lemonade and pool parties so really, we’re buckets of fun.

Location: Edam Dance/Western Front 303 East 8th Ave. close to Main and Broadway

Arrival time: Feel free to arrive anytime before 1:45pm and band members can leave their cases and personal items here (I’ll make sure that they are safe) at the WF before the downbeat! Music will be located in the EDAM Dance space downstairs so feel free to come and find Tim or Brenda!

Set times: 2pm, 2:30pm and 3pm

Set List: Please bring your books so we can play harder stuff if we are ever stationary, but we will be parading with songs we have off book: When The Saints, My Buckets…., Little Liza Jane, You Are My Sunshine, Greenhorn Bounce, Birdhead Forever

Dress: Crazy
