Our young musicians had a great time during retreats at YMCA Camp St. Croix this past weekend! @ymca_north

Between rehearsals, students headed outdoors to play team-building games led by camp staff. 🍁

As students grow closer and learn how to work together, it's amazing how the music comes to life. We're so excited for all 11 orchestras to share their progress at Fall Festival in November!

Two Symphony musicians performed Taps at the Minnesota Fallen Firefighters Memorial this past weekend.

GTCYS students have performed at this ceremony since 2014—thank you to Solanite and Evan for honoring our fallen firefighters with your musicianship. 🎶❤️ by @gtcys

A look at our first weekend of fall retreats! 🎶🍁

At retreats, students dig into their music in extended rehearsals, work with professional musicians in sectionals, build camaraderie during team-building games, and deepen their understanding of their repertoire through listening exercises.
