There will be two bands. One band is an introductory jazz course for middle school students,

and also those students who play piano, bass, guitar, and drum set. Students need to have one

year of classroom or private instruction to participate.

The music staff of the De Soto Public Schools is very interested in helping young students

develop their musical skills. It is important for students to continue with instruction and

supervised practice during the summer months if maximum musical growth and progress is to

occur.

Scholarships are available on a need basis. Please contact Mr. Foster.
