Dexter, Missouri - The Dexter Beginning Band Camp will be held at T.S. Hill Middle School Monday, July 16 through Friday, July 20. 

This event is for all students who will be entering sixth grade band this year. 

Band camp will be held Monday through Friday; camp times vary depending on which instrument the student is playing.  Here is the schedule:

8:30 a.m. – 9:20 a.m. Tubas and all Saxophones

9:30 a.m. – 10:20 a.m. Trumpets and Flutes

Attendance at band camp is very important to instill proper fundamentals for the beginning instrumentalist.  It is vital to set good playing and practice habits from the start.  Students will have smaller learning groups to help address their individual needs.

Parent orientation meetings will be held Tuesday, July 17 and Thursday, July 19 at 6:30 p.m. in the middle school band room.  Parents/guardians are asked to attend one of these meetings; it is not necessary to attend both. 

If parents have any questions, please feel free to email Mr. Jinkerson (cjinkerson@dexter.k12.mo.us) or Mr. Rybolt (srybolt@dexter.k12.mo.us).
