Bothplay clarinet and had a great time there.“I came because it sounded like fun and that I’dmake new friends, which I did,” said Christina. “I’vebeen learning new notes every day, and I like thatthey walk you through it. When I first came here, Ididn’t know the names of all the keys or how to playparticular notes, and I also learned some new techniques. I’d definitely recommend it to others becauseit’s a really fun and interesting camp and you’ll learna lot.”Alexander plays his mom’s old clarinet and lovesplaying in an orchestra because “it’s so lively andsuper fun.” His mom suggested he attend this campbecause he’d get more music instruction here thanin school. And he liked the idea of “playing clarinetfor four hours straight with people of all differentWach summer, students flockto Franklin Middle School’sBand & Orchestra Camp tofine-tune their musical skills andlearn new ones. And Camp Director Lawrence Walker bases one ofhis philosophies for it on a simpleproverb.“If you want to run fast, run byyourself,” he said. “But if you wantto run far, run together. I believewe should pass on our knowledge,help others and respect their opinions.”Founded by Walker, the campran June 29-July 23 and was the29th annual. Some 657 studentsattended four hours a day and received instruction from 50 teachers — school band and orchestradirectors, private teachers,freelance musicians and retiredmilitary-band members.Ewww.ConnectionNewspapers.comW a l k e r,himself, retired in 2012after teaching 30 yearsin FCPS —28 of themas Franklin’sband direcLawrencetor.TheWalkerLawrenceWalker Music Wing there nowbears his name and he directs theHerndon Regional Wind Ensemble. But each summer’s bandand orchestra camp is a highlightof his year.“Four weeks here is equivalentto two years of elementary-schoolband,” he said. “Those studentsjust have band once a week; andif the director’s sick, they don’thave it. For middle-schoolers, itequals a year of music instruction.”And at camp, students get across section of instruction. An in-Franklin Middle holds annualband and orchestra camp.strument class is like a master class— a private, group lesson focusing on fundamentals such asscales, techniques and tone quality. And a sectional class lets students work on music their director is rehearsing with their largeband or orchestra at camp.Students get specialized instruction during brass, woodwinds andpercussion classes, in addition toband and orchestra rehearsals.And at the camp’s end, they allperform and show what they’velearned. “This year, we did something different,” added Walker.“We let kids play in some chamber ensembles of quartets andquintets — and they got to chooseto participate. They played for everyone in the orchestra, and it gotthem involved in smaller-group associations with their instrumentsand let them play for their peers,which they love. They’re excitedand want to do well.”And for the fourth year, there’salso been a jazz band that met ahalf hour before band camp began.“They worked on some hard music and everybody loved how itsounded,” said Walker. “So whencamp culminated, there were concerts for parents and friends by theband, orchestra and jazz band.”The camp also offered Bridgingthe Gap, in which professionalmusicians from the president’s U.S.Marine Corps band performed forthe students so they could hearwhat a professional group soundedlike. Also performing was PreludeMusic, a brass group headed byformer Army trumpeter and formerCentreville High Band DirectorDave Detwiler. Said Walker: “Someof our staff members joined them,so it was wonderful for the kids tosee them perform, too.”Basically, he added, “I lovepeople, and music has been goodto me over the years and has always helped me grow, so I likereaching out to others and helping them, too. And it’s a nice feeling and rewarding to be directorof a camp where a whole wing isnamed after you.”PRSRT STDU.S. PostagePAIDCentre ViewPage 3Easton, MDBy Bonnie HobbsSee Improving Music Skills,PERMIT #322The Sweet Sounds of Summerages.
