For those of you who are not familiar with the Jazz Society scholarship program a little history for your enjoyment:
In 1996 the society sent 3 students to the summer jazz camp
held on the Drury College campus in Springfield, MO. In
the following years the society sent many more students to
this camp. Then six years ago under the guidance of musician instructor Gary Meggs the UofA at Monticello started
a summer jazz camp program with many nationally know
music clinicians to supervise this process. The results have
been outstanding in aiding our Arkansas students to excel
in the music field, many becoming instructors as well. The
2012 students are:
Lakeside band director Jay Chipman recommended
Zachary Seresinhe; Hot Springs band director John Jordan recommended William Staton, Greyson Teague, Adam
Willis and Anthony Peterman; Bismarck band director
Mike Copeland recommended Justin Richerson and Justin
Schwartz.
HSJS Board Director Ron Winecki has done an outstanding job of chairing this committee for two years.
Contributing directly to the 2012 scholarship program are:
Sam Green, Francis & Carl Gessler, Shirley Chauvin, Dee
Oates, Rosemary & Ernst Nipper, Emma Watson, Carol
Scholp, Bill & Debbie Beatty, Ron & Lynn Petti, Bob Andree & Lovie Roe. If you are interested in sponsoring a
student for this program please contact Executive Director
Gretchen Taylor, 501-627-2425.
