I am off to teach steel drum class for a solid week at the High Plains Band camp at Hays, KS. It is one of the oldest camps around having started in 1949 or so. this will be my 8th year teaching at the camp and I also teach percussion and play in the faculty concert band.
the classes consist of both high school and middle school students coming to my 30 minutes class once every day for 5 days. We basically prepare one song to perform on the saturday concert at the end of the week. the students are not necessarily percussionists, in fact, vary few are. the class is open to any camper and is limited to 11 students per class (because that is all the pans i can bring. a large percentage of the students are repeaters from year to year and it is a first come, first served situation.
Having just received the new basses and having had them freshly tuned, it should be a great week. BUT it is to be over 100 every single day of the camp. yippee
