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. Each ensemble session is also filmed and documented throughout the process to give each student a polished final Personal Media Reel.

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.

What is the Personal Media Reel?

At the end of your Advanced Ensemble session, you will receive a 5-7 minute Personal Media Reel documenting your musical journey throughout the program. This includes footage of rehearsals, performances, studio sessions, behind the scenes moments, and interview footage.

Basically, this is the best musical yearbook you’ve ever had.

Your Personal Media Reel is amazing for sharing with friends and family, but also makes the perfect college application enhancement no matter what you plan to study to show investment in extracurricular activities that build on responsibility, dedication, and an ability to work as a team. If you are pursuing music in college, your Personal Media Reel is an excellent way to showcase your talent and ability to grow – which is exactly what colleges choose to invest in. With each Advanced Ensemble year you complete, you will receive another incredible film chronicling your musical journey where you can see and hear your progress towards your goals.
