“We are very pleased to present these outstanding young musicians with these scholarships,” said Peninsula Symphonic Band Music Director Jason Palmer. “We want to do all that we can to encourage young music students to advance their skills and musicianship because doing so helps to make their school music programs that much stronger.”
Each student had to complete an application, write a 250 word essay on what they hoped to learn at summer music camp and submit a recommendation from their school instrumental music director.
The scholarship program is funded through the proceeds collected at Swingin’ Door Big Band and Peninsula Symphonic Band performances.
