What makes us different

Under the guidance of Dr. Tommy Dobbs, OCU's Assistant Professor of Percussion, and Sarah Neely, Director of Orchestra at Edmond Santa Fe High School, students will combine traditional technique and modern styles to reflect today's musical needs.

Students will learn techniques for all percussion instruments and participate in percussion ensemble rehearsals and performances. Whether you are in marching band, symphonic band or your school's orchestra, you will gain many valuable skills at this pre-college intensive program.

"I just wanted to tell you how much my students enjoyed this percussion camp! I had two 7th grade students attend and they still talk about it. I love that OCU puts this camp on! Thank you! I will continue to encourage students to attend!" MS Band Director in Oklahoma.
