Q: What will LCCC be like this year?
A: We are excited to see some of y’all in person this year! Camp will be intense and you will work hard to learn the music, but we will also take lots of breaks and give you time to process and listen throughout the day. We will adhere to our camp mission, which is to give lots of personal attention to our students to ensure that they each learn their music thoroughly and are well prepared for the audition process!
Our camp days will begin with all campers and teachers in one big room for warm ups, new song introductions, listening, diction/language instruction, and historical context. Then we will break up into sectionals, where your teachers will teach notes and offer practice strategies for each piece. We are excited to announce that we will have a live choir experience at the end of our camp, with a limited audience. More details on this to come. LCCC is developing additional opportunities for mock auditions.
Q: What do LCCC teachers expect of me, the student, during LCCC sessions?
A: LCCC teachers expect the following:
Students should read the LCCC Practice Handbook before their first day of camp, and refer to it throughout their All State audition preparation.
Students should come to their first day of camp with their voice part highlighted in all of their music.
Students should be prepared to mark their music, take notes during sessions, and will be given the opportunity to record certain parts of sectional rehearsals to use as practice tools throughout the week.
Students will be expected to evaluate their own progress, take responsibility for their own practice, and communicate their needs to their LCCC teachers.
