Any health-related concern should be acknowledged on both the application and health form. Dance majors are expected to maintain a body weight that is proportionate to their height and bone structure. A complete listing of required dance attire and supplies will be sent upon acceptance into the program. The orchestra program in the Intermediate Division includes the Intermediate Symphony Orchestra and the Intermediate Concert Orchestra. These two orchestras offer ensemble experience for students of various skill levels.
Rehearsals are two and one-half hours daily and each group performs new repertoire weekly.
Sectional rehearsals with instrumental faculty help provide intensive study of the individual instruments. Initial assignments to the two orchestras will be made from the placement auditions at the beginning of Camp. Students have weekly opportunities to demonstrate their improvement and advance within their sections. In exceptional cases, an audition committee may decide that an advanced eight-week camper would be served best by promotion to the High School Division World Youth Symphony Orchestra. Decisions to recommend to promote will be made at opening auditions.
