Mayday! May Day! Save on Django Camp Till May 1st; Django Camp now stands at approximately 70 registered participants from around the continent and abroad and it is going to be an incredible week. You can still be accomodated you if you'd like to join for a Gypsy jazz immersion experience like no other, but now's the time to sign up, so here's a friendly offer to help you off the fence: The cost of tuition for Camp has already gone up by $50 this month and it is set to go up another $50 on the 1st of May but if you register by May 1st, they will waive both those tuition increases and allow you register at the early-bird rate of $350. Such a deal. Register for Django Camp now. You won't regret it.

Registration for our Weekend Drop-In option is now open. If you can't be there for all of Django Camp but you'd like to join them for a weekend of djamming, clinics, GJ vendors and concerts, they are now ready for you. Take advantage of over 30 clinics to choose from for guitar, violin, mandolin, accordion and bass, plus private rooms in a lovely dorm and an on-campus meal plan. All music, no hassles. One warning though: four days into Django Camp, be prepared to hit the fingerboard running.
