With our highest number of participants, reaching 58, BAM Jam Camp was an inspirational 2 days. With the generosity of local sponsors, 32 of these students were able to participate through this sponsorship. <\/p>\n

\nThe Beginner fiddlers had fun with fiddle & bow holds & positions!
\n<\/br><\/p>\n

<\/br>\"\"<\/a><\/br>
\n<\/br>Intermediate 1 group worked hard & with the help of their instructor Karrnnel, they composed their own tune! Naming this tune after the group J.K.L. (Jillian Hrycyk, Kierstin Griffith & Lawson Burghart)<\/p>\n

<\/br>The first day ended with the choice of a dance workshop or jam session. These gave the participants a chance to interact with other students in the camp & learn some new skills. The jam gives the guitar students the perfect opportunity to back up the fiddle players and learn the chord changes in a relaxed setting.<\/p>\n

The camp ended with a showcase of all the hard work the students put in. the Intermediate 3 group, the “BAM Jam Birdies” entertained the crowd with ‘Swallowtail Jig’ & ‘Pelican Reel’ The bass & vocal groups collaborated to please the crowd with an amazing tribute to BAM Jam Camp!!!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The full house was given an evening to remember, both evenings filled with amazing music & song. We are so fortunate to be able to bring these top instructors from across Canada to our Valley, Karrnnel Sawitsky, Patti Lamoureux, Greg Simm, Kim de Laforest, Jake Charron, Shamma Sabir, Donna Turk, Daniel Koulack, Marcel Hapel, Desmond Lagace & Ameena Bajer-Koulack.<\/p>\n

With the hard work of our Bowsman School PAC – Donna Burghart – Chair, Elaine Stinson – BAM Chair, Sheena Griffith – Co-chair, Stephanie Martyniuk – Secretary, Daphne Currie – Director, Debbie Woodson – Director & Jennifer Hurren – Treasurer, the Valley was filled with music.<\/p>\n

This year the students worked extremely hard & put in long days playing, learning new songs, composing & forming friendships that will last for years to come. We hope all of our ‘Musical Family’ can meet again in 2015!!!<\/p>\n
