Rock, Pop and Music Production camp
Perform, compose, and produce music with your bandmates! This is a fun six-day overnight resident or commuter camp for students who love popular music. The camp will help students with diverse musical skills learn new things and elevate their talents to the next level. Campers will form a band, learn new popular songs, write an original song, work on the production of original music, and give a live performance at the end of the camp for friends and family. They will be grouped with other campers based on age, ability, and musical interest. During elective classes, campers of all skill levels will learn about live sound engineering, the history of popular music, music theory for rock and pop musicians, the music business, and movement and stage presence. Specialty instructors will provide small group instruction in guitar, bass, drums, keyboards, voice, and rock/pop violin. Skills will be gained, fears conquered, friendships formed, and music created! Join us for 6 days of learning, creating and playing music, teamwork, making friends, and pulling it all together for an unforgettable performance experience! This event is available to participants ages 11-18 at the time of the event.

"Florida Christmas" is a heartwarming musical comedy written and composed by Alena Holmes. In the heart of sunny Florida, where palm trees sway and ocean waves sing, a delightful cast of coastal creatures prepares for an unforgettable Christmas celebration. Follow Alonzo, a lovable alligator, on a quest for a White Christmas in Florida, and join the spectacular show with diverse songs and dances representing the diversity of characters and musical genres. The tale imparts crucial messages on environmental awareness, friendship, and the power of music and unity. Alligator Alonzo's wish inadvertently turns Florida into a frozen wonderland, but in a climactic moment, Martha the Mockingbird uses music's magical power to save the state. 'Florida Christmas' is a musical feast that celebrates Florida's nature, animals, birds, and the extraordinary magic that unfolds when we unite in the spirit of the season.

"Move over, drama... The Oceanville musical is here!
OCEANVILLE is a new family musical set beneath the waters of Florida, where singers from across the sea have gathered for the annual Oceanville Vocal Star competition. Hosted by veteran television personality Lawrence Kelp, the contestants compete for one million sand dollars and a chance to headline at the Bay-Agio in Bass Vegas. A cowboy Stingray, dancing Shrimp, a business-minded Shark, romantic Seahorses, Dolphins, Manatees, a determined Barracuda, a misunderstood Moray Eel and others take the stage, each convinced this could be their big break. The audience gets the final vote, but live entertainment rarely goes exactly as planned. Behind the competition, rivalries form, friendships grow, and the contestants begin to discover that becoming a star may not be quite the same thing as winning. With original songs, comedy, dance and audience participation, OCEANVILLE is a musical about taking your chance, finding your voice, and having the courage to step into the light.
