| The Bob Wills Swing School |
The curriculum at the Bob Wills Swing School emphasizes the experience of actually playing in a swing band and the magic that happens when expression and improvisation are encouraged. Students will be assigned to a ‘band’ based on ability, with each band not to exceed twelve members including vocalists.
Instructors are experienced musicians with the ability to relate to and teach students. In addition to the band sessions, sessions will be dedicated to instruments. Instructors will be assigned to those sessions according to the instrument(s) they (the instructor) are most accustomed to.
Guest artists and speakers, including some of the original Texas Playboys, will provide the evening activities in addition to documentaries, videos, Bob Wills movies, discussions and jam sessions. |

| The Saturday Awards Concert |
The Saturday Awards Concert is open to the public as an opportunity for students to perform for an audience and to be recognized for their achievements. At the conclusion of the camp, one band will be formed from all the students to be distinguished as the Bob Wills All Star Band.
Each member will be awarded a ‘seat’ based on the name of the Texas Playboy appropriate to the student’s instrument. The distinctions will be entitled for one year and it is expected that students will list the accomplishments on their resumes and wear their 'titles' proudly! |
