i think it's mostly for middle school and highschool..i'm not sure though. HHhmm.. i need info..or comments suggestions plz

<Added>

OOOoohhh!!! OR do you guys know any COOL music camps? interlochen is the only thing i heard of.

I know you guys went here before!..how was it? i think i read somewhere where ppl went to this music camp...can't remember.

i just want to do something over the summer..including music! some kind of band..flute choir (that would be SO cool!)..i just don't know where to go..

interlochen anyone?

I really wanted to go to Interlochen as a kid, but even then it was super-expensive and my parents couldn't afford it. So I went first to a flute camp at a state university, and to band camps at local colleges in subsequent years.

Talk to your flute teacher/band director about available band/orchestra/music camps. Many colleges and universities offer them and right about now is when they send the info to different schools in your state.

I REALLY wanted to go also as a high school student, but the 'rents couldn't afford that one either. I went to Florida State University Band Camp, though. That was the BEST band camp ever. It's really awesome. You play all sorts of music. There are lots of kids there for 2 weeks I think it is. It's $751 for the two weeks including food and housing. They have all sorts of bands, symphonic, concert, orchestral, honors, plus masterclasses, and optional lessons! It was a blast when I went, and 2 weeks isn't bad at all! I highly recommend it, and if you go...I'll be moving to Tallahassee on June 1st, I am going to try to come to the concerts, and would love to check out the band camps before I start school in the fall there. Check it out!

OOOooh FLORIDA?? I'm going there over the summer to my aunt's house!..AHHHH!! maybe i could go there! AWESOME^_^ i wonder how long it is..i should check the website. ooh, i have to leave..

It's two weeks long. Definitely worth it. I am not sure who the flute teacher would be during the summer camp, but the flute professor during the school year is Eva Amsler. She is quite awesome!

Dennis, you're comming to FSU in the fall?
I'm working on my undergrad here now.
Are you an undergrad or grad student?

I will be an undergrad at 26 years old...LOL. Right now I am in for Clarinet, Music Education, and I want to go into the commercial music program in my junior year. I will try out for the flute performance probably in the fall. I might send in a CD here in the next week or two if I can get one together that I approve of. I would love to do both clarinet and flute at the same time, and get them over with as soon as possible. Hope to see you there! What year are you?

-Dennis

Dennis, since you will be so close to where I live, I wanted to let you know that you are welcome at my home anytime. I would love to have you over sometime!

That would be awesome Kara! Thanks a lot. I might go there a bit too, because as I told you before I have a friend that lives near Little Rock, and was born in Conway.

-Dennis

P.S. you might have to show me how to plate things! I think I want to get into that next.

Sure, I can show you how to do that. It is pretty easy, it is just expensive! The solution goes a long way most of the time though.

this is really off subject. sorry but how old roughly is schoolgirl105 or wateva? just wondering.

Actually, I'm considering attending Interlochen in the summer of 2007. I live about two hours away, so I guess it's not nearly as extreme of a change for me as it is for you, but I'm fairly sure they allow visitors (unless one of my friends had to sneak past security to see her brother...lol). It is pricey, but if you're a member of your local youth symphony, they probably offer scholarships.

Yea..my school gives scholorships..i'm probably gonna do it next year. what do you mean roughly old?..i don't get it..
