Band Camp! Band Camp! Band Camp!

Band Camp!


How much would daycare for 6 days this summer cost?   That is for 8 hours each day - breakfast and lunch each day - all transportation provided to Booker T Washington HS for the performing arts and back to Walker each day -  and your child is engaged in learning and working under the supervision of the top professional musician/educators in Dallas and at the end of the week they perform onstage in the Meyerson Symphony Center in downtown Dallas.   $300?- $400? - $500?

How about $25.  Yes you read that correctly.  The Dallas Winds in partnership with Dallas ISD hosts the largest urban Band Camp in the nation each summer.  It is an amazing camp and the students that go always move further ahead of the other students in their grade level.  They come back better musicians and move up in the band program every year.  The performance in the Meyerson on Saturday is the hilight of the camp and is free and open to families and guests of students. 

June 11 - 16 this year.  Band camp forms have already been sent home with your student.  Just fill out the simple form then sign and return with $25 cash or check made out to "Dallas Winds" and band camp on the memo line.   If you need another form please contact Mr. Flemons at jflemons@dallasisd.org or have your student ask a band director for one. 

Our goal is to take 100 Walker students to Camp this summer.  Help us reach our goal.
