Overview
Head to idyllic Mackinac Island for a music festival that will encourage student performers to grow as musicians. Give your concert band, jazz band, orchestra, or choir an opportunity to learn cooperatively through clinics and performances without a competitive focus. Student performers will never forget this learning experience while they step back in time, surrounded by the Victorian charms of the historic island.
