CHOMP is designed to be an opportunity for young musicians, high school musicians, and adult musicians to get together and learn from one another. This is a great chance for everyone in the HIllsoro area to take n active role in the musical education of our your. This staff has been hand-selected to provide all participants with an excellent musical experience.
This is our 26th year of CHOMP. In these past 26 years, we have had thousands of musicians participate as students and mentors. Many students have gone on to High School, College, and professional careers in music! The Hillsboro music scene has been so blessed through CHOMP.
CHOMP is not a replacement of school programs, but a supplement. As such, all students must be active in their school programs, if their school has a program.
It is important that every effort be made to attend all rehearsals. In the event that a rehearsal must be missed, please leave a message on Mr. Dunlop’s voice mail at 503-844-1800 x5177 or email dunlopj@hsd.k12.or.us Students need to come with materials needed for rehearsals.
Everyone at all times must try to create a musical, non-threatening environment. All participants are expected to show respect and courtesy at all times.
Mr. Dunlop is the CHOMP director, and as such, all complaints are to be channeled through him.
