ATU Wraps Band Camp Season With Middle Schoolers – Arkansas Tech University

Arkansas Tech University middle school band camp participants engage in a rehearsal in Witherspoon Auditorium.

This week marks the conclusion of 2024 Arkansas Tech University band camps.

ATU is hosting 210 middle school musicians through Thursday, July 11. The camp will conclude with concerts at Witherspoon Auditorium beginning at 6:30 p.m. Thursday.

In all, more than 750 students had the opportunity to advance their musicianship and make new friends at Arkansas Tech during marching arts weekend, senior high, junior high and middle school band camps this summer.

Founded in 1964 by Gene Witherspoon, ATU band camps have provided thousands of young performers with a primer in instrumental music while also serving as an introduction to campus for generations of future Arkansas Tech students.
