Registration is open for the IS Summer Music Day Camp, July 12-17th. We have a
new location this year - the Unitarian Universalist Meeting House just north of Freeland. The theme of the year is a study
in 50s American music. Our staff this year includes Karis Mills, Elizabeth Lovelace, Linda Good, Kat Fritz, and Roxallanne
Medley.
We will meet on Sunday for a potluck dinner, a play through, and a short ensemble rehearsal. Monday through
Friday is full of fun activities. You can choose half or full day options. The morning is dedicated to the study of Suzuki
repertoire and supplementary literature through master, group, and art classes. The afternoon focuses on ensemble playing.
Roxallanne Medley, WIYO conductor, will lead us through large and small ensemble rehearsals. We end the week with a concert
and a fun reception/ sock hop.
The cost of the camp is $100 - half day AM (morning 9-1), $100 - half day PM (afternoon
12- 4), or $200 - full day 9-4. Registration fees are $15/ before June 1st, $20/ after June 1st. Your tuition & registration
fee include an awesome, custom-designed t-shirt, and your annual Island Strings activity fee. You can register online (click here for the form) or contact Kat.
