In 2006, Dallas ISD approached Dallas Winds to establish a high-quality summer band experience for public school students. Today, considered the largest urban summer band camp of its kind Dallas Winds Band Camp engages Dallas ISD band students with top quality group instruction from professional Dallas Winds musicians and top area conductors. After a week of instruction at the renowned Booker T. Washington High School for the Performing and Visual Arts, students perform for family and friends in the magnificent Meyerson Symphony Center, a magical moment in the life of any young musician.
Every summer, Dallas Winds serves approximately 600 middle and high school students from Dallas ISD to improve their playing techniques, hone their musical skills, and take their music to the next level. While middle school students work on mastery of the basics, high school students learn from college-level instructors to broaden their musical horizons and discover just how far their music can take them.
This camp changes lives.
