Woodwinds, Drums, and others. OCCTAC and the founder have received numerous awards throughout the years; including the OC Register "Hero of the Year" award (2013), a City of Santa Ana Community Building Award (2006) a Disney Community Building Award (2005), a OC Human Relations Commission Award (2004), and many others. Narrative for proposed use of funds:: Most of the funds requested ($7,660) would support the part-time salaries of 3 music instructors to teach at our Summer Intensive Music Camp and an Honorarium for our Community Partner, Chamber Music OC. Each music instructor will be paid $25 per hour for 4 hours each day, 5 days per week, for a 4 week long Summer Camp. The remaining funds ($2,340) will be used to fix musical instruments that were donated to OCCTAC, as well as purchase a few more musical instruments. In addition, we will purchase program supplies, such as music notebooks, etc. for the students, printing materials for the program, and Community Outreach fliers to enroll new students in this exciting and intensive Summer Music Camp at the Orange County Children's Therapeutic Arts Center. Supplemental Question 1: Please describe any additional City of Santa Ana resources required for your project (permits, public space, licenses etc.)?: We do not require any additional City of Santa Ana resources for this project since our Summer Intensive Music Camp will be conducted at our own facility. OCCTAC has all the required business permit, license and insurances required to operate this Summer Music Camp and all other programs. Supplemental Question 2: Is this a new or existing program/project?: As stated previously, our Summer Intensive Music Camp started last year, as an expansion of our Classical Music program, where students learned to play a string instrument of their choice (violin or viola) or a woodwinds instrument (flute, clarinet or saxophone). It was a great success and we enrolled about 100 students in the program! This year, we propose to have the intensive camp again, and add one more string instrument (Cello) since we have received Cello donations for our agency! All students will have the opportunity to attend the camp 5 days per week, 3 hours each day for one entire month during the Summer. This year we plan to collaborate with OCSA and will continue to work closely with Chamber Music OC once again! OCSA students and college volunteers/intern, from Chapman University, CSF and UCI will also assist our music instructors during this exciting Summer Intensive Music Camp. Supplemental Question 3: How will the proposed project be presented or shared with the public? Will the art display, event or performance be free and accessible to the public?: The proposed project will be promoted through the local media channels (online and print), the networks of our Community partners, such as: Santa Ana Unified School District, City of Santa Ana, Santa Ana Downtown Inc., Mexican Consulate, local colleges and Chamber Music OC. In addition, our flyers will be distributed to as many schools in Santa Ana, and also all the current families that we serve at OCCTAC.
