If you’re planning on signing up for camp…
Doeet

LAST CHANCE!!!
Registration due by Monday June 1st

A couple of things to know about the video/audio portion of our registration.
1. We never use the submissions for anything except for the coaches listening to and using it as an aid to put bands together.
2. It is not an audition. If you register for camp and you meet the requirements for camp, you’re in.
3. We don’t need to actually see you! If you don’t want to appear on camera, you don’t need to. Make an audio file or put your favorite stuffy in front of the screen as proxy, we don’t care how you do it but we just need to hear YOU PLAYING.

REGISTRATION
tiny.cc/TIU2026

A huge, heartfelt thanks to all of the small and local businesses who donated prizes, and the amazing attendees who truly put the "fun" in our 3rd Annual Music Bingo Fundraiser 🥰 Every year, this fundraiser has grown, and this year brought us close to $2,000, which is half of our budget for our flagship programing, Turn it Up Rock Camp in June 🤑 An extra special thanks to those who donated who couldn't join us the day of the event.

If you missed the event and would like to support us, you can always visit our Donation & Shop page 👕: https://www.volumeupinc.org/donate - plus if you grab some merch, you'll be showing everyone that you support accessible music and arts programming in your community! 🎸🎤🎨

They’re doing posters at camp again!

Back for a 3rd year…
Hello! I’m Audrey( ), I’m an artist of many trades with a degree in Graphic Design. My main trade is Tattooing but I’m known on social media for my daily sticky note sketches where I draw on a sticky note everyday with a ballpoint pen and have been doing so for over a year straight. I love teaching art classes as well as encouraging others to let their creative minds run wild.

I will meet with the campers on June 23rd to bring their creative visions into reality. Each band will have made a zine containing inspiration for their desired band poster and identity. We will then brainstorm together what a finalized promotional poster would look like for them and I will create a completed iteration of it that they get to take home and decorate their walls with and share with family and friends!
