[quote=Anonymous]I am considering Interlochen for my middle schooler for orchestra (brass). We are going to listen to the info session in a few weeks but I'd love the DCUM perspective.

1) Do the orchestra kids tend to stick together at camp or is everyone mixed together? my kid is very serious about his instrument, but is not really an "artsy" kid so I am wondering if he will fit in the overall crowd. he is definitely not a "theater camp" kind of kid (unlike me when I was in school!)
2) I had been hoping the camp would have a no phones policy, do all the middle schoolers bring phones? My kid when to PIMF last year and they needed phones to get communications from the camp during the day if there were scheduling changes.
3) I get that there is going to be some competition among the students, but does the camp try to foster a supportive environment?
4) Does anyone have experience with Luzerne Music Center? I would prefer that because it is driving distance (getting a French Horn to Michigan and back will be a PITA), is just focused on orchestra and has a no cell phones policy. But my kid's teacher is recommending Interlochen because it is the "best."[/quote]
