On
June 8th and 9th, many percussion students across Southwest Missouri
attended the area's first Sounds of Summer camp held
on
the campus of MSSU. Not only were students given one on one
instruction by special clinician and battery
instructor for the Bluecoats Drum and Bugle Corps, Mike McIntosh,
but they also walked away with many door prizes including a set
of Remo Powermax Bass Drum heads, a set of drum set heads, practice
pads, t-shirts, and more. Students unable to attend this year
may get another chance next year, as the camp will probably become
an annual event. Percussionists pictured above include (L-R) Riley
Minnis, Chantelle Custis, Alex Hall, Chelsea Smith, Micah Fleming,
Alex Hoog, Myan Counts, Jared Smith,
Gia Oberley, and Benji Baker.
