Wichita Falls Summer Band Camp

Enrollment Form for Summer Band Camp 2009 Coming Soon!

 

Wichita Falls students can be a part of the excitement that is BAND!

Join for fun, friends, cool music, trips, parties, summer camp, and musical rewards.

Do I have to know anything about music to join the band?
        No.  Everything you need to know to play an instrument will be taught in band.

Can I be in athletics or other activities and still be in band?
        Yes.  We encourage our band members to participate in athletics, other music organizations, and other school activities and clubs.

Will I get to play the instrument I want?
        Every effort will be made to allow you to play one of your top choices.  However, because of physical characteristics, you might progress faster on one instrument than another.  Usually the best one is the one you most want to play

What is the cost involved?
        The main cost is your instrument.  New and good used instruments are available at our local music stores.  Also, each school has a limited number of instruments that may be rented.  The rental fee is $20.00 per semester and $10.00 for the summer.

When can I begin?
        There is a Wichita Falls Band Camp, held at Barwise Junior High in June, 2009.  You may also begin playing in band in August.

Benefits from being in Band include higher test scores, well-developed social skills, the challenge of being creative, gain confidence and poise, learn self-discipline, learn in a positive environment, develop communication skills, and includes future college scholarships for being in a college band.

Each junior-high director is available to assist you.  If you have any question, please feel free to call or email.
