Week two of camp has gotten off to a great start so far! As I wander down the hallways, snapping a few pictures here and there or checking on the classes, I can hear music. Music that is coming together – and it’s only day two of camp.
It’s amazing how much progress students have made since yesterday. I can already hear parts that have been practiced or worked on, which pays off in the groups. For example, Dr. Metzger Howe was able to do a complete run through of one of the pieces in orchestra, a feat impressive for only the second day of camp.
During week two of camp, students have the opportunity to attend various seminars. Today Mr. Blough gave a lecture on auditioning, something all musicians have to experience at one point in time or another. He offered tips on how to prepare for an audition, as well as demonstrating a mock audition.
Overall, today was a successful day. Despite the heat, much was accomplished, resulting in a more refined sample of music.
