ProgramsADVANCED ENSEMBLES

Practice like musicians, perform like legends.

You’ve built a solid musical skillset with the confidence to hold your own in a band setting and are ready for a whole new kind of experience. Our Advanced Ensemble program is designed for more advanced and dedicated musicians ages 14-20 looking to invest in a long term program focused on performing in a band at an elite level. You will have a blast pouring your heart and soul into seeing your dreams come true as a stage-performing musician before you even graduate high school.

This program truly is an investment – and it’s worth it. The Advanced Ensemble program is a 35-week program where you will dedicate four hours each week to rehearsals with your new band. The increased time commitment prepares you for two studio sessions at industry-leading recording studios and two full stage concerts at professional performing venues for a live audience. There will also be other offsite performance opportunities to show your local community what you’re made of!

In order to provide you with the best experience, the Advanced Ensemble program is available by audition only, whether through your progress in our Bands & Ensembles program, showcase performances or scouting at offsite events.

Applications for the 2025-2026 Advanced Ensemble program are now open!
