Orchestra

Student Instructor Academy
While leadership training is essential to the growth of our band programs, most times this training focuses on WHAT leadership is. This new division has been designed to train students to BE real leaders in their programs.
Become a Leader!
Spend an inspired, fun weekend with renowned teachers, exciting artists, and fellow campers from across the country, and even from around the world. Enjoy a safe and supportive environment and a real campus-life experience. You’ll not only grow as a musician and performer, you’ll also have a positively life-changing experience.
Leadership is the theme throughout the Symposium week. Kick it all off by adding on the Leadership Weekend Experience for the ultimate summer camp!
Get on the Bus!
Music for All has developed routes from areas of the country with buses already scheduled to transport students to the Summer Symposium. There is limited room on these buses for students and directors to “Get on the Bus.”
Concert and Events Every Night!
Many things set the Music for All Summer Symposium apart, and one of those is the nightly concert series, one of our student campers’ favorite parts of the experience! Each evening features artists and groups presenting a variety of musical performance genres and provides immersive performance experiences for camper students..
