DRUMS ALONG THE RED CEDAR YOUTH MUSIC CAMP SCHOLARSHIP
The Drums Along the Red Cedar Youth Music Endowment Fund, managed by the Community Foundation of Dunn County, gives local students the opportunity to apply for scholarship funding to attend a summer music camp of their choice, up to $500.
The Fund was established in 2001 from the proceeds of the Drums Along the Red Cedar Drum & Bugle Corps Competition, which began as a project of the Menomonie High School Band Booster organization in 2000. The competition took place annually until 2009, bringing a local Drum Corps International (DCI) sanctioned show to Dunn County, in the Don & Nona Williams stadium in Menomonie, WI. The regional DCI shows bring the drum corps experience to several million people throughout North America each year. The proceeds from the event have been put into an endowed fund at the Community Foundation to provide funding for music scholarships and music initiatives in Dunn County.
One scholarship of up to $500 is awarded annually to a middle or high school music student in Dunn County to attend a music camp program of their choice. The camp must be for a specific music program, such as band, choir, jazz, percussion, voice, string, etc. Scholarships are paid directly to the camp unless otherwise approved by the Community Foundation of Dunn County, Inc.
