About this Project

Thom Hannum's Mobile Percussion Seminar is a percussion clinic for high school students that operates every summer on the UMass Amherst campus. I've had the pleasure of working as a staff member at the camp for several seasons.

I originally designed the site several years ago, drawing inspiration from other youth camps and service groups, trying to adhere to convention. In its original form, the site used tables for layout. It has since been updated to all-CSS, but still reflects some outdated design techniques.

The website includes an online shop and media section to showcase the camp's performances. Recent added to the website are links & feeds from various social media outlets.

This project was completed without a content management system, and its content & code convention have slipped over time. I'm currently in discussions with the camp's leadership to start work on a new, modern version of this website.
