Shake Off The Rust and Blow Out The Dust

Tuesday, June 3rd, 2008

If you played in your school band, and would like to find out if you can still make that old horn work, this is the camp for you!

Shake Off The Rust and Blow Out The Dust Community Band Camp will be held the week of June 23-27, from 7-8:30 pm in the Marysville HS band room.  There will be an opportunity to bring in your old horn for a check-up by Bud Schuette, to find out if it is still in playing condition. If you don’t have an instrument, you can arrange to borrow one from the school inventory for the week. Brass and woodwind instruction will be provided by Tobias Wood and Meg Baker. Percussion players can contact us to make arrangements.

Camp participants can expect to work on fundamentals, and will play some easier music to re-acquaint their fingers and lips with their horns.  At the end of the week, campers are invited to play a piece that they worked on during the week at the June 29th concert with the MCCB. This is optional, and only  for those who wish to participate.

If you are interested in attending, please register by June 20th so that method books can be ordered.  To register, please send your name, address, phone number or e-mail, and what instrument you play. If you will be bringing in an instrument to be checked, or if you will need to borrow an instrument, please specify that as well.

Mail your registration to:

Or you can e-mail all of this information to info@marshallcountyband.com.

Get out that old horn again, and shake off that rust and blow out that dust !
