Summer Band Camp logoThis season the Southwest Community Concert Band gave all our 6th through 9th grade scholarship applicants the opportunity to be awarded an all expenses paid enrollment to our annual Summer Band Camp. The committee of band members reviewed the applicants and selected two students to be awarded the honor. In our 2008-2009 season the Southwest Community Band will introduce an additional Scholarship application to our annual Summer Band Camp to be awarded to eligible band students 4th through 9th grade.

Watch for 2009 Scholarship applications to be posted on this web site in February 2009!
