and arrange school workshops by the artists on the Monday after their concert performances.
CPFJ will also develop a Jazz in the Schools project beginning this Fall to bring jazz
performances and Master Classes to school districts in our region. We will also provide
complimentary concert tickets to students so that music teachers and band directors can bring
their students to hear the great artists that we present. Adult classes on the history of jazz and
the art of improvisation are also being organized for those of you who would like to increase
your understanding of the art form and its history.
.
Please note the appeal to “Send a Kid to Camp” (on page 8) and give generously - our camp is
a wonderful learning and bonding experience for kids from age 10 - 21 and we are truly
excited to have Steve Wilson & Stefon Harris as the lead faculty members this year. Dr. Bill
Stowman of Messiah College will administrate the Camp and we offer Resident or Commuter
options for the campers. If you would like to donate to the fund, please go to our website or
call the office. The 15th Annual Central PA Jazz Camp at Messiah College will be expanded
this year from three to four days - June 15th to 18th. During the Camp, Steve Wilson &
Stefon Harris will present their group in a public concert, Friday, June 17th, at Parmer Hall in
Messiah’s High Center. The concert is the 3rd Spring Series event and CPFJ Sponsor and
Corporate members will receive tickets to the event. This will give Camp students a rare
opportunity to hear a professional jazz ensemble. Our traditional student camp concert will
then take place on the following evening, Sat. June 18th at 7p.m.. We hope to exceed last
year's record Camp attendance of 87 students with the expanded format. Check the website
for updates and admission forms and be sure to let your young mus ician friends know about
this great opportunity. We thank Ben and Kristen Olewine of the Olewine Family Fund for
their annual grant to the Camp. We also are indebted to Penn National Insurance, the Hall
Foundation, and private donors for underwriting many student tuitions.

We are very excited to share the new CPFJ video which will feature film of many events from
our 35th Year Celebration - the 2015 Jazz Camp, Dauphin Co. Jazz & Wine Fest, and October

2016
MESSIAH
COLLEGE
CPFJ’s annual Jazz Camp will have a major change this year - we are extending the Camp to a
FOUR DAY EVENT to allow for more in depth instruction. We have also scheduled our third
CPFJ Spring Concert during the Camp (Friday, June 17th) to allow the students to attend
and hear a group led by Camp Faculty special guest instructors Steve Wilson & Stefon Harris.
This year’s faculty will include some of the finest performer/educators in jazz!
Steve Wilson - Stefon Harris - Jeff Stabley
Paul Bratcher - Kirk Reese - Steve Meashey & more!
.
Please tell your young friends about the Camp and encourage them to attend. All students aged 10 to 21
with a desire to learn to improvise or improve their skills are welcome. There is a free concert on June 18th
with all faculty and students participating. Our thanks to Dr. Bill Stowman and the staff at Messiah College
for welcoming us to the campus again this year, our 15th Annual Central PA Jazz Camp! More info at our website.
SEND A KID TO CAMP...
.
Our annual Central PA Jazz Camp at the High Center on the campus of Messiah College will be held June 15-18. It is
a four day camp this year with two very special musician/educators – Steve Wilson and Stefon Harris - heading the
faculty and presenting a major concert on Friday evening June 17th at 7:30p.m. The traditional student concert will
be held on Saturday, June 18th at 7p.m. with all student ensembles performing in the beautiful Parmer Hall.
.
There are many talented young people in this area who would love to attend this inspiring event, but their family
finances don't stretch far enough to provide the tuition for their son or daughter.
.
YOU CAN HELP! Please consider funding a scholarship to the camp. Tuition for residents is $425 and for
commuters, $375. You can fund a student’s tuition or simply make a donation of your choice to the Camp
Scholarship Fund.
.
Make your tax deductible donation with your credit card at our new online store on our website,

17112 and include a note designating the donation to the Jazz Camp.

love for jazz. Your support will help us to educate our young aspiring artists and expand a future audience for
America’s Music – Jazz!

Ron Waters is the Director for the CPFJ Youth Band.
There is no tuition fee and all applicants are
accepted.
Please contact Mr. Waters at (717) 432-3109 or via email
[email protected] - all young musicians with an
interest in learning to improvise are welcome. Our
continuing dedication to jazz education led to the
creation of the CPFJ Youth Band over 25 years ago. Mr.
Waters is a professional arranger, composer and trumpet
player and the band is open to all school age musicians grade school through high school. Mr. Waters prepares
arrangements to suit the particular talents of the
participants each year. All applicants are accepted
without audition - Mr. Waters finds a niche for every
instrumentalist and vocalist. The band’s rehearsals and
concerts are scheduled year round including
performances at the Central PA Jazz Festival, Jazz Picnic,
and many other events. Not only do the students get
wonderful experience playing in an improvising
ensemble, but they get to meet kids from other schools
who have the same interests. This ensemble offers a
different experience than most High School Jazz
Ensembles - it is not a place where the students simply
read the notes on the page - all members learn to
improvise and get valuable experience playing jazz
standards and original music in a group setting. The
Youth Band is also not restricted to the traditional big
band instrumentation (trumpets, trombones, saxes &
rhythm section) - all instruments are welcome - we have
had almost every imaginable instrument….cello,
accordion, oboe, flute, etc. in past bands. The Youth
Band plays all of our festivals and major events as well
as many civic functions and concerts - come join
the fun!!
Please donate to the Ron Waters Scholarship Fund and support our talented young
musicians. Annual scholarships go to high school seniors entering college for music as well as
grants for students of all ages to attend our CPFJ Jazz Camp. You may donate on our website
www.friendsofjazz.org or send a check to the CPFJ office at 5721 Jonestown Rd., Hbg 17112
