To all our friends, family, and fellow music enthusiasts,
Zac and Dylan are presented with an incredible opportunity to attend orchestra camp at the University of Arkansas this summer. This immersive six-day camp is designed to cultivate their musical talents through a rigorous schedule that includes rehearsals, lessons, masterclasses, skills classes, and dedicated practice time. The camp culminates in a concert on the final day, where they will showcase all their hard work. The evenings will be packed with enjoyable activities that promise to create lasting memories before they retreat to their dorms for the night.
Regrettably, there are no scholarships available for this camp. The fee is $575 per child, which covers the camp experience, housing, and meals; however, private lessons incur additional costs. As twins, the expenses multiply quickly. Any extra funds raised will be allocated towards private lessons during the camp or through private lessons over the summer. Zac plays the cello, while Dylan plays the violin. Last year, they both participated in the school district orchestra camp, which they thoroughly enjoyed, but they believe that the University of Arkansas camp will provide them with even greater challenges this summer.
Below are notes from Zac and Dylan.
From Zac: I am eager to attend the orchestra camp at the University of Arkansas. Joining this camp would offer me numerous opportunities to learn advanced skills and discover amazing new songs that could enhance my musical abilities. I also look forward to forming new friendships that I hope will last a lifetime. The memories created at this camp will be enjoyed for years to come. Although the cost of the camp is steep, the memories, friendships, songs, techniques, and overall experience will make it all worth it.
From Dylan: Participating in this camp would greatly benefit me by helping me improve my skills and refine my technique. It’s a great opportunity to meet new friends and create memories.
Your generosity, regardless of the amount, will be instrumental in covering the costs and enhancing their musical education. Thank you!
