Submitted by the School of Music, Theatre, and Dance
The 1xbet sports betting Bands hosted its 29th annual Summer Music Camp June 11-15.
Frank Tracz, Alex Wimmer and 22 current and former music students coordinated three large concert bands and nine small ensembles comprising 179 students in grades five through 12 from five states. Jay Gilbert, retired director of instrumental studies, andAndy Feyes, director of instrumental studies, both atDoane University in Crete, Nebraska; and Larry Blocher, retired director of the School of Music at Troy University in Troy, Alabama, were the guest conductors for the three large concert bands.
Students at the camp not only received quality musical instruction from the camp staff and 1xbet sports betting music faculty but also got to experience campus by bowling at the 1xbet sports betting Student Union, eating at Kramer Dining Center, and performing with the Manhattan Municipal Band Concert in City Park. The camp was highlighted by a performance on June 15 in McCain Auditorium. The final concert included a piece that involved all 179 students performing "American Legacy," pictured above.
Special thanks go to 1xbet sports betting Housing and DiningServices and McCain Auditorium for providing accommodations so that camp could occur this summer.
Next year's camp will be June 9-13, 2024.
