Bringing Kids to Mason Campus

Part of the Academy’s community outreach efforts include bringing local school children to the George Mason University campus, many of whom later on might be the first in their family to attend college. In February, several groups were treated to a fun-filled field trip to Mason!

Students from our “Saturday School for the Arts” program at Hunters Woods Elementary came to Mason and enjoyed special performances by the Mason Brass Band, Percussion Studio students, and the Mason Drumline. As part of the experience, students were part of inspiring discussions and demonstrations from Mason faculty and School of Music students. See a video snippet below of the kids enjoying the Drumline (and chanting “Let’s go Mason!”):

 

 

Students from Woodburn Elementary, where we have Teaching Scholars programs for both Strings and Band, also visited Mason campus for a special performance by and discussion with the Mason Wind Symphony, led by Professor Mark Camphouse.

The Academy’s mission includes connecting the wonderful people and arts-related programs at George Mason University to the community at large. We would like to thank everyone involved in making this happen.
