I got into the orchestra (I’m not sure if this is the highest ensemble)

Orchestra or band (wind symphony) distinction is decided with your initial application audition. If you’re accepted in the orchestra, you’ll either be in WYSO or the Philharmonic. You’ll audition again at the start of camp for which orchestra and chair assignment.

Whether the cost is worth it is hard to say. I spent seven of my summers there growing up and, for me, it was a life-changer even though I didn’t go into music as a career. I still have friends from camp. My son attended two summers. He’s a senior this year, in the midst of college auditions. He’s met up with Interlochen friends at every audition, all over the country, and one of the instructors there was one of his recommenders. He just had his U of Mich audition today and we’re about to head out to lunch with fellow Interlochenites here for auditions.
