Mid-Michigan Band and Orchestra Day of Music

Mid-Michigan Band and Orchestra Day of Music

In this video 280 high school musicians take part in the first annual regional Band and Orchestra Day at the Flint Institute of Music’s School of Performing Arts.

Originally planned for 250 participants, interest in the Flint Institute of Music’s (FIM) first-ever Mid-Michigan Band and Orchestra Day was so enthusiastic the event stretched to include an additional 30 high school musicians.

“Opportunities like this are scarce for young people and so important to their development as individuals, musicians and leaders,” said Paul Torre, president of FIM, noting that the Charles Stewart Mott Foundation granted $17,500 to help make the day possible.
