Truman to Host New Band Academy for High School Musicians
The Truman Institute for Academic Outreach will host the new Truman Band Academy for high school students, June 7-11.
Students will have the full campus experience, including staying in residence halls, enjoying campus dining and meeting fellow musicians from across the Midwest. Under the orchestration of Curran Prendergast, Truman’s director of bands, students will participate in daily full-band rehearsals, instrument sectionals led by University faculty and interactive electives designed to enhance musicianship and creativity. At the end of the week, students will perform a full-ensemble concert to showcase their work.
Applications for the Academy are due March 15 and require two complete years of transcripts, contact information for an educator recommendation and a completed signature page. Applications are not completed until all materials are received.
Tuition is $500 and includes housing and meals, all activities, a t-shirt and additional materials. Once acceptance is confirmed, $250 must be paid by April 16 to secure the student’s spot, with the remaining tuition being paid no later than May 14.
