2024 High School Student Leadership Day
What are directors saying about Student Leadership Day?
“The interaction of the students from different schools was quite special. The students were supportive of one another and I loved seeing this.”
“It was a rewarding experience to witness students stepping out of their comfort zones and leading with and beside others.”
“I’ve done other leadership camps and this was very well organized and informative. My students loved it and got a lot of good feedback, support, training, ideas and were immediately collaborating/planning for this upcoming year… Seeing and hearing well organized groups inspired my students and called them to action. They got so many great ideas and are using the skills they learned to organize and plan.”
TODA is excited to offer our 2024 Student Day in FOUR locations this year! We'll have guest speakers, student-led presentations, and fresh game ideas to bring home to your orchestra programs. This is a perfect opportunity to kick-start your school year and orchestra program!
The cost is $30 per student and includes lunch (pizza) and drinks.
