Parents,
Pop Star gives students between the ages of 7 - 15 the opportunity to work closely with area professionals on the fundamentals of pop music performance. For five days, students and staff work together rehearsing, writing and arranging a short set of material for each group to perform a special showcase on the last day of the camp session.
John Mason, camp director, recently graduated with a degree in pipe organ performance from Florida State University.

He conducts the children's choirs at the cathedral and teaches children aged five all the way through middle school students. John's love for musical theater, popular music , and children has brought this exciting camp to life!
