​Welcome to the PYCO 2019 Orchestra & Wind Ensemble Summer Camp!

​​​The directors, coaches, and staff of the PYCO Orchestra & Wind Ensemble Summer Camp are gearing up for the start of camp this coming Monday, June 24th.

  • Please plan to drop off your student daily between 8:30 am and no later than 8:45 am so everyone can get unpacked, tuned and ready to begin at 9:00 am.

  • The camp concert will take place on Friday, June 28th at Noon at the camp location, PYCO School of Music, 150 Lake Drive, Wexford, PA 15090. Don't forget to invite your family and friends!
