WHAT: The Warren Easton Gia Maione Prima Foundation Summer Camp will holds its summer performance to showcase their camp accomplishments. Performance will include a video presentation of the summer marching band field show and a performance by the jazz band and marching band WHEN: Wednesday, June 28 1pm WHERE: Warren Easton Charter High School Arthur Hardy Auditorium 3019 Canal St. in New Orleans WHY:
In 2017, Warren Easton Charter High School and the Gia Maione Prima Foundation entered into a partnership to promote summer music education. With a gift of $45,000 to cover the next three years of summer music camp, the Gia Maione Prima Foundation guarantees that all interested students at the alma mater of legendary musician Louis Prima receive quality music education during their summer break. Camp education covers beginners’ instruction, jazz and concert instruction, and marching instruction and field choreography. Gia Maione Prima was the wife of the late Louis Prima. “Summer camp has always been a priority for us, but we haven’t had the funds to conduct all relevant sections of music education,” says Ms. Asia Muhaimin, director of bands. “Now with this generous gift, we can bring in professional musicians for small group, specialized, and individualized instruction for all kids at all levels. It makes for a better, more cohesive band unit as we go into our full band season.” The performance will be a culminating celebration for the camp students, as the children show their new skills and enjoy refreshments. For more information please contact Amanda Winfield-Buford at 504.324.7426 or awin- field@opsb.us, or visit the website at www.warreneastoncharterhigh.org. The event is free and open to the media, Easton students, parents, and friends.
