Make this year's High Plains Band and Orchestra Camp and Summer Music Festival the highlight of your summer! Thousands of middle and high school instrumental students have attended the High Plains Band Camp program. Founded in 1947 by the late Harold G. Palmer, the camp continues to offer the experience of studying music with outstanding musicians from around the country, for both band and string students. Students experience a week of stimulating and concentrated study in the art of music, under the guidance of nationally recognized musicians, teachers and conductors. Performances, concerts, and additional opportunities in recreation and camp social life make the week an experience worth repeating year after year.
