The Delta Music Institute Entertainment Industry Studies program at Delta State University is celebrating its tenth year of developing and showcasing young talent through a summer camp for high school students.<\/p>\n
This year\u2019s student campers at the DMI Summer Camp will present a showcase of original songs and commercial music on July 16 at 6 p.m. in the Bologna Performing Arts Center on the campus of Delta State. The concert will include material from various commercial music genres, along with several original songs created by the camp\u2019s songwriting students. The show\u00a0will also include a performance by select DMI Summer Camp alumni.<\/p>\n
Over 20\u00a0students ages 15-18 from Mississippi and Alabama are participating in the 2016 program. The intensive six-day residential camp experience explores three integrated music industry tracks, including audio engineering, band performance and songwriting. The camp culminates with\u00a0a recording session at the DMI studios followed by the showcase.<\/p>\n
Instructors for the camp are DMI\u00a0faculty members along with entertainment industry professionals.<\/p>\n
\u201cFor the past 10\u00a0summers, it has been amazing to see talented young people write original music, rehearse, and put together such a great show in only a week\u2019s time,\u201d said\u00a0DMI Director Tricia Walker. \u201cIt\u2019s also fun to watch them form friendships with other like-minded campers from all over the state.\u201d<\/p>\n
The July 16 showcase\u00a0is free and open to the public. Supporters of these talented young musicians are encouraged to attend and enjoy the show.<\/p>\n
The DMI Summer Camp is supported by grant funds from the Mississippi Arts Commission and Entergy Mississippi.<\/p>\n
