What other opportunities are there?
Summer Camp
University of Wisconsin - Madison
check out the website for more information - summer music clinic
Check out this camp if you are interested in a great experience for a week this summer. This camp can be attended as a residential (you stay overnight each night) or a commuter (you go home and sleep in your own bed each night) camper. I have had students attend this camp in the past and thoroughly enjoy the experience. It is well worth the time if you are interested in furthering your orchestra skills. You will be involved with students from all areas around Madison.
The application and payment are due by May 1, If you are past the deadline, contact them anyway and they will check space availability.
Please let me know if you are interested but may need financial support.
WYSO - Wisconsin Youth Symphony Orchestra
Do you want to audition for WYSO? Audition registration deadlines are typically in February of each year. Let Mrs. Hershey know that you are interested in auditioning for next year, take a look at the website for information, and start working on it now.
WYSO is a great way to work on your skills, meet other students from around the state, and play more advanced repertoire than we play in school orchestra. WYSO consists of five orchestras with student ages of 10 - 18. The first two orchestras, Opus One and Sinfonietta, are strings only and are where you would start. The three orchestras after that are all full orchestra and for the advanced middle school and high school players.
