No great mystery about the use of the term band camp in the headline.
The cover photo suggests, and the article makes clear, precisely what the Baltimore Symphony Academy is, who goes there and how it works.
"Band camp" is a jocular conceit, which probably originated with a remark by the writer's young son, who is quoted on the jump page: "Dad, you're going to band camp."
The headline writer, no doubt, picked up on that and within the amount of space permitted, wrote, "Greetings From Band Camp," a play on the postcard that campers were often required to write to their folks.
