New York, NY (Top40 Charts/ Recording Academy) The GRAMMY Foundation (www.grammyfoundation.org) announced today that 99 talented high school students from 87 U.S. cities and 27 U.S. states have been selected as participants in the ninth annual GRAMMY Camp® program. In addition, through a partnership with GUCCI, four international students from Japan and England will attend GRAMMY Camp in Los Angeles, bringing the total number of students to 103 this year. The Foundation's signature music industry camp for U.S. high school students will be held in Los Angeles from July 13-22 at the University of Southern California Thornton School of
Music and in New York from Aug. 4-12 at Converse Rubber Tracks. This GRAMMY in the Schools® program is supported in part by Converse.
"When we started this GRAMMY in the Schools® program nine years ago, we had very high hopes and aspirations for GRAMMY Camp " said Neil Portnow, President/CEO of The Recording Academy® and the GRAMMY Foundation. "And I can truly say we've met our goals to offer young people a hands-on experience that delivers a sense of what it's like to have an actual career in the music industry. Teens spend their time at GRAMMY Camp working with GRAMMY®-winning artists and industry professionals gaining knowledge and sharpening their skills, so they will be ready to take the next steps in their careers."
Applications for GRAMMY Camp 2014 are currently online at www.grammyintheschools.com and the deadline is March 31, 2014. Financial aid is available and approximately 70 percent of GRAMMY Camp participants who have applied for financial aid have received assistance.
"Almost every artist and music professional who we bring to GRAMMY Camp comes away saying two things — 'These kids are so talented' and 'I wish I'd had this kind of experience when I was young,'" said Kristen Madsen, Sr. Vice President of the GRAMMY Foundation. "This underscores the collaborative and immersive nature of GRAMMY Camp, and the fact that the experience produces lasting effects and positive influences for the campers who participate each summer."
