Debbie, Katie, Lauren - I assume you are taking care of this yourself? Please contact me ASAP today if you have any questions. Thanks.

International Music Camp

As some of you know, I spend my summers at the International Music Camp on the border of Manitoba and North Dakota.  It's a summer school of fine arts, and includes programs such as band, choir, orchestra, creative writing, digital photography, drama, dance, visual art, jazz (vocal and instrumental), piano, handbells, musical theatre, garage band, and many others.

If you think you might be interested in attending for a week or two during the summer, check it out at www.internationalmusiccamp.com.

What I am asking from you is to provide me with a list of your favourite "wake up" songs (high energy, fast tempo, fun and appropriate lyrics, etc.) for me to blast through my dorm to wake my campers up in the morning.  Have fun and be creative!  Leave me a comment with the title(s) and artist(s) and I will get to work on making some super fabulous play lists. :o)
