MUSIC
The purpose of Northwest Band Camp Inc.
is to stimulate the interest of youngsters in band music and to build their
enthusiasm for playing their instruments-so they would continue playing in high
school and college. It has been very successful. There are experiences
in concert band, jazz band and small chamber ensemble music. The concert
and jazz bands are directed by very successful public school directors. There
is also a very active recreation program directed by physical education specialists.
On Thursday evening there is a solo recital night. On Saturday afternoon, the
final day, a gala concert is presented for the parents and the public.
