The summer music program will consist of Summer Band, Summer Choir and Summer Strings. All sessions will be located at Topeka West High School, 2001 SW Fairlawn Road. The purpose of this program is to provide a musical experience in the early summer to help students retain musical skills they acquired during the school year. There is no cost for this program as it has been generously funded by the Topeka Public Schools Foundation.
All participants must provide their own transportation and we ask that students be picked up on time. We are guests at Topeka West, therefore; no food or drink (except water) will be allowed in the rehearsal areas.
Please enroll your student no later than May 24, 2023. If you have any questions about the summer camp, please email Ms. Snell at [email protected].
