About Music Camp
Music Activities is the place to be if you wish to continue playing, singing, dancing, acting, twirling or various other pursuits under the Music Activities Office umbrella. It is for all students! New students and upperclassmen alike will spend an intensive week preparing for the school year. Music is learned, group officers meet to arrange schedules, lasting friendships are made, and concert and travel plans are made.
Music Camp is a great opportunity to get a head start on college life. Learn your way around campus and buy your books before the lines get unbearably long and, oh yes, perform for a week with other talented Villanovans. For some, this is an opportunity to explore performing organizations that they didn’t have time for in high school. For others, it is a continuation of their musical experience.
The groups are listed at right. For more information about each group, visit Villanova Performing Groups where you may click on a group name for more information. No experience is necessary with the exception of the instrumental groups. There is no cost to you to participate in Music Camp other than the extra activities (trips, etc. that week) you may choose be involved in. We will arrange for your early housing and meals at no cost.
Please be aware that individual group schedules will not be available until arrival. If you are planning on participating in Music Camp, we expect that you will be available for and participating in all scheduled events for your group for the entire duration. Rare exceptions for other on-campus, Villanova University activities, must be cleared through the faculty/staff director of your group and the Office of Music Activities.
