Summer Overture Strings     9 am - 12 noon 
CYSO offers a half day camp for those string players who have played their STRING instrument for more than one year.  The skills needed to play in a group are taught and practiced and where playing parts, listening to others, and watching a director are experienced.  The art of creating music bigger than oneself is appreciated by students who participate in this program.
