[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sorry to hijack, but have any of your kids gone to Interlochen camp in the summer? My DC wants to apply for French horn, just wondering how competitive it is for middle school. [/quote]

Its supposed to be very competitive but its insanely expensive which is why we'd never do it.[/quote]

Different poster here with a percussionist. Interlochen, outside of strings, is not /that/ competitive in middle school.
Even strings aren’t that competitive to get in,  but the kids getting the top spots are extremely good. My kid has gone for three years in middle school and has the top percussion spot each year. She’s solidly competitive  at the top levels in the state, but she was by no means number one in the state, especially as a sixth grader. In high school, to contrast, I’ve noticed the absolute top kids from the state are firmly in the middle of the Interlochen ensembles. 
We get almost a full ride due our personal situation, but yes, it’s very expensive to full pay. It’s an amazing experience. Like, where else is my kid going to sit in on master classes from a top professional orchestra, or, as a middle schooler, play in a full
Symphony. But you have to balance the cost to what you have available
Locally.

If you have other questions, maybe start a thread in the camp section. I’m
Happy to answer anything.
