Registration now open for the Baylor University Summer Band and Orchestra Camp! The camp takes place from June 21-27, 2020, and features a week of "intense, yet fun-filled training in performance" under the guidance of the Baylor University School of Music faculty. It is open to all students who will enter grades 7-9 during the fall of 2020. It is a prerequisite that students have played their instrument for at least one year. For more information, or to register your student, visit the Camp website at: https://www.baylor.edu/busmc/index.php?id=929126
If your band student attends a live musical performance (band, choir, orchestra, or a musical) they can receive extra credit in band. Attending a live performance is the best way to build appreciation for music. Listening to an mp3 on their phone just isn't the same!
I will post any upcoming concerts that I know about here. You can find local high schools that will have free performances regularly. The Temple Symphony Orchestra has regularly scheduled concerts (a link to their website is below). If you hear of a great concert opportunity, please pass it on to me!
