Vienna Band Camp

We have vacation or another summer camp planned already. Can my child miss part of this camp?

Due to the progressive nature of the camp, we are asking students to not miss multiple days in a row. We hope students can commit to all the dates of camp and avoid taking long trips during the dates of the camp. We understand if students must miss a day or two especially when students get sick, but we hope students can be there for the majority of camp days.

What is the Tax ID Number for Vienna Band Camp? 

VBC is run by the McLean High School Band Parents Association. 

The McLean High School Band Parents Association is a 501(c)3 organization.  Tax ID Number - 54-1679679

Can students that play string instruments join this camp?

NO - sorry.  This is a camp for wind and percussion students.  We do not have violin, viola, cello, guitar, or bass.  If you would like information regarding string options, contact Starlet Smith - starlet.smith@fcps.edu.

Is lunch provided? 

NO - however, all students have a 15-minute break and snack time.

Can I participate if I do not attend a Fairfax County School? 

YES - but remember that all students and parents are responsible for their own transportation.

Does the camp provide instruments? 

NO - students should come with instruments rented/purchased already.  If you have questions about how to get an instrument, please contact the band director at your school.

For assistance in the selection of a suitable instrument for a beginning student, please contact one of the band directors.

Is financial aid available?

Since Vienna Band Camp is not a county-run event, financial aid is not available from the camp or the county.

We suggest that if you need financial assistance, you direct your questions to the band director at your school who might have some resources to help.
