The MSU Community Music School runs two summer camps during the summer in East Lansing on the MSU campus. Each camp is a week long, one geared toward middle schoolers and the other week for high schoolers.
High School Band Camp July 7-11 Middle School Band Camp July 14-18 Each camp runs from about 8:00 am to 3:00 pm each day, with lunch provided at the dining halls on campus. The final concert is on the Friday of camp at Fairchild Theater. There is still space and financial assistance available. Please see the links below for more information. CMS Middle School Band Camp CMS High School Band and Chamber Ensemble Camp Thanks. Melanie Rosin and Lynn Kelsey Dear 6th-12th grade parents,
You are invited to our annual band solo recital night on Thursday, May 1st at 6:30 pm in McGoff Auditorium at Williamston High School. This optional event features students in grades 6-12 who have prepared solos and ensembles to perform. Any student interested in performing should sign up in class with Ms. Kelsey by Tuesday, April 22nd. Students may perform by themselves or in small groups. Students are responsible for finding their own music. After everyone has signed up we will create a schedule so students will know whether they are playing near the beginning or end of the recital. Participating students should plan to drop off their instruments in the band room at the beginning of the event. After dropping off their instruments, they should sit in the audience and wait to warm up until THREE events before they are to perform. Warm-up will occur in the high school band room. Dressing up slightly for this event would be appropriate. Students may also dress in performance related "costumes" as well. We could use a couple of pare nts to help organize the students in the band room as they warm up. This will help keep the event flowing smoothly. Please email me at [email protected] if you would like to help with this. Please let me know if you have questions. Thanks. Lynn Kelsey Attached is information about the CMS Flute Day, to be held Saturday April 26th. This would be a great opportunity for any of our flute performers.
Thanks. Lynn Kelsey We are looking for parent chaperones to help at BOTH the Middle and High School Band Festivals. The chaperones will be riding the bus both to and from the festival and supervising the band with the Director during the festival.

Please tell your friends that the Middle School All School Party is Friday night from 7:00 to 10:00 pm in the high school. Students will have fun with the pool, open gym, guitar hero, dancing and the all time favorite Karaoke and Tunes by T on the dance floor.
We need help to make this a fun, successful night for everyone. We are still looking for about five parent chaperones. If you can chaperone, please contact Carolyn McLaughlin at williamston [email protected]. We still need donations of pop. If we have not received the donations, we will have to purchase it on Friday before the party. Also Carolyn is looking to pass the baton to another middle school parent for next year. Carolyn's daughter will be in high school next year. If the All School Party is an event you would be interested in being a team leader for, please let us know. Vicki Schneider |
