Dexter Public Schools will hold this year’s beginning band camp next week, from Monday, July 26 through Friday, July 30.  This event is for all students who will be entering sixth grade band in the 2021-22 school year. Classes will be held Monday through Friday in the band room at T.S. Hill Middle School; times vary depending on which instrument the student is playing.  Below is the schedule for each instrument:

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

9:30 a.m. – 10:20 a.m. Trumpet and Flute

10:30 a.m. – 11:20 a.m. Trombone, Baritone, and Clarinet

1:00 p.m. – 1:50 p.m. French Horn and Percussion

2:00 p.m. – 2:50 p.m. Bassoon

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.
