Eligibility
Participation in the Toolkit Sonnet Summer Drum Set Camp is offered to the next year 7th through 12th grade percussionists from accredited DFW Metroplex middle and high schools as well as current year graduates, prior to their freshman year in college, who are interested in developing their drum set skills and musical interests. Participants will benefit from our program regardless of level of attainment or proficiency.
Student Supervision
Every activity is supervised and attended by a PISD employee and area percussion specialists on contract with the Plano Cluster Drum Set Camp. All staff have been certified and cleared to teach by the State of Texas and the Plano Independent School District.
What to Bring
All participants will need to have their own personal drum sets during the camp as we will spend a majority of the time behind the kits. The standard "camp" drum set is a 4 or 5-piece kit with a ride cymbal, a crash cymbal, Hi-Hats, and a drum throne or stool. Having fewer or more drums and cymbals is fine. You will also need sticks and drum set brushes. All drum sets will remain secured behind locked doors within the Plano Senior High School Performing Arts Center for the duration of the camp.
