Austin Soundwaves Programs
We invest in our Austin community and engage with local musicians of all levels through numerous program offerings during the school day, after school, and throughout the summer.
DRAYLEN MASON FELLOWS PROGRAM
The Draylen Mason Fellows Program honors the legacy of Draylen Mason by furthering the musical and personal development of a select group of high school students over the course of one year.
