Frequently Asked Questions

Why should I or should I not be in the Cleveland Youth Wind Symphony again?

I am a 16 year old boy who lives 45 minutes from Cleveland, Ohio. I really LOVE classical music, but above all, and no contemporary music. I played trumpet for 3 1 / 2 years now and I am an enthusiastic musician.


Nick, you would not ask this difficulty, if you have not had serious reservations about this undertaking again.

Congratulations to be offered to non-scheduled to be in the group. If your parents have no problem, you transport to and from practice, I think you should participate. Do not enter with negative thoughts. Did you not ask friendships last season?
