July 25-29th, 2011 / Monday-Friday, 9 am – 4 pm
Members of the March Fourth Marching Band have started a new vision: The Joy Now Foundation, dedicated to empowering, exciting and engaging youth through music and performance arts-centered programs that value diversity, positive collaboration, self-awareness and social change.
The 2011 JOY NOW summer session is open to students age 13-18 in the following areas of study:
- Percussion
- Choir
- Guitar
- Trumpet*
- Trombone*
- Saxophone*
- Flute*
- Hula Hooping
- Stilting/Circus Arts
(* Minimum one year experience, and some music reading skills required.)
Together, band members and youth will bang out infectious rhythms, sing sweet harmonies, get funky and soulful with brassy melodies, roll hoops around our hips, shake our tail feathers and laugh until our sides hurt. At the end of our week together, we’ll take the songs and dances we’ve created to the streets, classic M4 style. We’ll parade, we’ll perform and we’ll help kick off the 2nd Annual PDX Bridge Festival at their opening gala on July 29th.
Cost: $250
Limited scholarships available
