Local secondary school music (instrumental and vocal) students are invited to the Friday evening dress rehearsal of the Orchestra during two subscription concert weekends. The students watch the rehearsal, meet the players, conductor and guest soloist and enjoy a supper of hot dogs, chips, cookies and soft drinks. This project has been enthusiastically received by teachers and students and continues to grow in number of students participating and popularity. Students are also provided with complimentary concert tickets for the concert weekend, to attend with a family member or friend.Dates for the 2007-08 season are Friday, October 5, and Friday, February 29, at 6:30.
All programs are offered at no cost to participants. Funding for the Quad City Symphony Orchestra's music education programs is provided by Volunteers for Symphony.
