We've created several community outreach programs to support Colorado kids and wind music education.
-
For example, our "Show and Tell Band" is a smaller group that
travels to area schools. They create a fun musical experience that gives many kids their first chance to touch a tuba or bang on a real drum
(and even conduct!). Click on "Show and Tell Band" for
details on this special group, including the current performance
schedule and how to book the group to play at your favorite
elementary school.
-
Several band members teach music in Colorado schools, and many
members are retired music teachers. The DCB sometimes performs joint concerts with area high school bands.
- Every spring, we also sponsor the
Young Artist Scholarship Contest, open to any high school senior. The winner receives a
$2000 scholarship and gains valuable musical experience by soloing with the band.
That fact that the student was even a finalist is yet another
achievement to add to their musical resume. Past winners include 1983 winner Paul Naslund (now
2nd Trombone with the Colorado Symphony Orchestra) and 1992 winner Jason Herrick (now touring with the Chicago Symphony Orchestra).
