“Many young people don’t get this kind of experience until they are in college or graduate school.”

“[Your camp] has made our daughter realize how important music is to her...”

“For the first time, [my son] felt completely surrounded and supported by peers. It was ‘cool’ to want to work hard, learn well, and love music”

“It’s an amazing experience being part of a band or orchestra, especially a capable one of which I can feel truly proud.”
