HOW IT ALL STARTED Part 3
String Festival for Middle and High School Students
The Festival provides an opportunity for over 200 string students in the western southern tier to gather and enjoy a weekend of friendship and music. Since its founding in 1987, the festival has grown significantly and now draws students from all of Western New York including the Greater Buffalo area to our north and Coudersport, Pennsylvania to our south.
The weekend music festival is designed to offer ensemble experience to elementary school (grades 5 & 6), Middle school (grades 7, 8 & 9), and High School (grades 10, 11, & 12) string students. This program provides an opportunity for string players to gather in a musical and social setting, to meet new string students and form new friendships. Energetic, entertaining and musically gifted conductors lead students in rehearsals that are fun and musically enriching. The recreation coordinator provides a schedule of activities that includes swimming, basketball, volleyball, soccer, and arts and crafts. Students can bring to campus books, cards, frisbees or board games. Social events are planned for each age group. These may include an ice cream social, late night gym or swimming. Houghton College cafeteria offers a wide selection of foods, salad bar and desserts. Students are generally housed in double rooms in campus dormitories along with a staff of parent and teacher chaperones.
The two-day festival culminates in a public performance. Admission to the concert is free but it is worth “a bundle” to see the proud faces of the students on stage as they share the musical results of many hours of hard work (and fun) with an audience of family and friends.
