Upbeat! 2020 Update
May 9, 2020
Upbeat! 2020 has been cancelled
Since the safety of our campers and staff is our #1 concern, we have decided to cancel Upbeat! 2020. We decided that rather than waiting until June 1st to make and announce a decision, it’d be best to give everyone involved extra time to make alternative plans. So much study, thought, and discussion went into this decision, and I’m sure you can imagine!
Please know that if you signed up for this year, you will be seeing a full refund shortly.
We are thinking about you and your children, and how we will so enjoy making music when we see them again!!!!!!!
Bye-Bye Upbeat! 2020 😢
say HELLO to
Upbeat! 2021 😎– Please save the date!!!!!
THE WEEK OF JULY 12!
We all hope for your continued safety and well-being until we see you again!!!
Thank you for your support!!

Upbeat! is a exciting and fun day camp that will help you learn more about your instrument, improve your playing, and make you a more confident player. Our camp faculty are some of the top orchestra directors from Cobb and Fulton counties. They design the camp to be challenging but also lots of fun! It’s the perfect cure for the “summertime blues!”
Upbeat! is a string camp for students entering middle school through high school seniors. Younger students may be welcomed if they have at least 2 years experience on their instrument, and are able to read music proficiently. Students who are more advanced or are in high school will be placed in the Upbeat! Academy. The Academy focuses on higher-level study for the most advanced and mature musicians.
