Thousands of teenager wind instrument players, from Shenzhen, other Chinese cities and Germany, have gathered at a high school in Bao’an District for a week-long summer camp.

    Wearing blue T-shirts and green bracelets made of sea-grass, the teenagers were attending the summer camp’s opening ceremony on Saturday, getting ready for a week of music.

    During the summer camp, an array of dynamic activities have been organized. The young players of wind instruments will be able to join several concerts, competitions, lectures, training sessions and so forth.

    It is the third time that Xixiang Subdistrict in Bao’an has organized this summer camp. This year, the organizers invited 60 teachers and students from Hanover University of Music, Drama and Media to spend one week living and training with students from Shenzhen, Hunan and Guizhou provinces.
