MUSICIAN TALKS
Airman Cary F. Letsche, USAF band, explains some of the finer points of French horn mastery to a clinic of junior high band campers. Letsche, Airman Robert M. Gifford, trombone, and Sgt. Ramon E. Parcells, trumpet, presented a concert for the campers then conducted separate clinics June 10 as part of the junior high camp activities.
The highlight production of two weeks' work by 475 junior high musicians from across the nation will be presented at 7 tonight in a free public concert in Allen Field House.
The a capella and concert choirs of about 225 each will be directed by Marilyn Curt, the symphonic band will be directed by Charles Lawson, the orchestra by Henry Justice, and the concert band by Richard Brummett. Miss Curt is a KU staff specialist in junior high music education, Justice is a guest conductor, and both Lawson and Brummett are camp supervisors.
The xsith, seventh and eighth graders here from 18 states—as far away as the state of Washington—have practiced four hours a day during the camp June 5 to 14. Regular rehearsal schedule began at 7:30 a.m. A seventh grade girl said she had been too busy to get homesick.
This is the eighth annual session of the Junior High Division of the Midwestern Music and Art Camp. The director, Russell L. Wiley who has been in this camp 31 years, said that to him it is a great adventure in dealing with young people. Along with the excitement, he feels the Midwestern Music and Art Camp is
doing something for young people that is very constructive.
During the 1967 camp Wiley said, "With the cultural atmosphere of a great University in which to work and with the dedicated efforts of hundreds of people on all levels including administrative, teaching, and counseling staffs, we will continue to grow in size and in stature."
In the senior high division of the camp which begins Sunday 400 students are enrolled in art, 100 in journalism, more than 400 in German, Spanish, Latin and French, 150 in speech, 125 in ballet, and more than 900 in music. There will be six bands, five choirs and four orchestras ranging from 90 to 170 musicians.
