This fund helps provide advanced TCMS band students with the opportunity to attend the Rushmore National Music Camp this summer. This is a fantastic opportunity for these students! First, they get to spend focused time working with teachers and students from around the country. Our program is so isolated that our students rarely get the chance to meet, let alone make music with, people of all ages who love playing their instruments as much as they do. Outside of the pure joy of making music, camp will allow students to catch a glimpse of what possibilities they may have for their future as they continue to work hard and grow as young, gifted musicians. In addition, students will be residing at Northern State University for the duration of camp, using campus facilities and experiencing campus life. Exposure to college life and possibilities is vital for our middle school students as they prepare to go into high school and make decisions about what they want for their lives.
Our scholarships are merit-based. In order to qualify, students must destinguish themselves by reaching a certain level in our private lesson curriculum and demonstrate a high level of commitment to mastering skills on their band instrument.
Last year, we awarded 6 scholarships to incoming 7th and 8th grade students. The students had an immensely positive experience. This year, TCMS band students are making incredible gains. At least 15 students are on track to meet the requirements to earn a scholarship. We hope to raise enough money so that all those who earn it can go! Please consider contributing to this fund- our students truly deserve the experience!
