TODA is excited to offer our 2023 Student Day in THREE locations this year! We'll have guest speakers, student-led presentations, and fresh game ideas to bring home to your orchestra programs. This is a perfect opportunity to kick-start your school year and orchestra program!
We are now accommodating a late registration! The students registering now (Friday, July 28) up until August 5 will not participate in some of the activities such as presentations. The day is very interactive and we encourage ALL interested students to come and participate.
The cost is $25 per student and includes snacks and drinks.
Featuring Dr. Jeffrey Grogan International acclaimed conductor and teacher, currently serving as Director of Orchestral Activities at the Bass School of Music at Oklahoma City University and Artistic Director of the Oklahoma Youth Orchestras.
