Good Afternoon Happy Campers!!!
I hope you are all safe and sound at home and enjoying some time with your families! I just wanted to write to say thanks for coming to the 18th Annual K-State Music Camp. I certainly hope you enjoyed the experience and learned a bunch! We enjoyed having you here and look forward to seeing you back next year!! If you are graduating then maybe you'll be playing in our bands here at K-State! :)
We are putting the new brochure together and will have it on-line shortly. If you come back next year and complete the app by January 1st, 2012 you will save $25 by avoiding the food and room increase! No money $$$ is needed with the app when you register - you can send that in April of 2012.
NEXT YEAR: June 10-14, 2012!!!!! We are looking into 2 days of swimming at the great City Pool Center........ Maybe even 3 bands!!!
Also, you'll soon be able to check us out and chat on-line at the new "K-State Music Camp" Facebook"!!!!!! Announcement coming in the next few weeks.
Thanks again and keep playing!!!!!
Dr. Tracz and Mr. Linn

The 2011 edition of the K-State Summer Music Camp was our most successful music camp ever with a record breaking 144 campers participating. The guest conductors for the camp were Dr. Larry Blocher from Troy University and Dr. Jay Gilbert from Doane College. Campers participated in two large bands, various chamber ensembles, jazz bands, and sectionals. The Campers age 5th - 12th grade got a taste of college life at K-State by living in the dorms, eating in the dining halls, and attending rehearsals at McCain Auditorium. The brilliant music camp staff was comprised of former graduate student Dr. David Whitman, Florida music educator Chandler Wilson, K-State graduate assistants Sarah Bernard-Stevens, Greg Coffey, Andy Feyes, Ryan Laney, Teresa Purcell, and Lyle Sobba, and current students Daniela Thrasher, Kelley Tracz, Melissa Woodworth, Amy Kraus, Robby Avila, Ben Cold, Kristen Beeves, Megan Cahoj,Chris Miertschin, Tess Kornacki, Eric Starnes, Sam Mustain, Brian Feibelkorn, and Paden Town.

The 2012 Kansas State University Summer Music Camp will be held on June 10th -14th and is open to all band students grades 5 through 12. A typical daily schedule during camp includes a full group rehearsal in the morning, followed by a sectional (small group) rehearsal with instruction by a specialist. Lunch is followed by supervised recreation time at either the K-State Union or the brand new Manhattan City Water Park, another full group rehearsal, then small group instruction. The campers perform with the Manhattan Municipal Band on Tuesday evening and camp culminates with a final performance by the camp ensembles Thursday afternoon.
The guest conductors for the 2012 KSU Music camp will be Dr. Jay Gilbert, Director of Bands at Doane College in Crete, Nebraska, and Dr. Larry Blocher of Troy University (Alabama). There is also the possibility of adding a 3rd band due to increased interest in the camp. The five-day camp exposes students to a variety of ensemble and rehearsal settings, including concert band, small ensembles, and jazz ensembles.
The staff of the Kansas State Music Camp is comprised of the finest musicians and teachers from the area who are chosen for their interest and ability to inspire and teach talented young musicians. College music students complete our staff. A minimum of two staff members reside on each floor of the residence halls with the resident campers, and all staff members supervise student rehearsals throughout each day and evening.
