The Lewisville Lake Symphony selects its Symphony Interns from students in the 8th through 12th grades. "We were looking for a select number of students who are excited by great music," says Ms. Margaret Wells, Chair of the Symphony's Civic Relationships Group. "In return for helping the House Front team at performances, the Interns get community service credits and an opportunity during final rehearsals to sit on stage among members of the LLS all-professional orchestra under the baton of maestro Adron Ming."

The Symphony Intern program is now closed to new applicants. It will reopen on July 1, 2013.

The program's mission is to foster the long term enjoyment of great music and to encourage student musicians.

The non-refundable application fee is $30. This becomes the Intern's Membership Fee for the first semester if accepted into the program.

The program is limited to fifteen committed students in 8th - 12th grades.

Symphony Interns

Mission

Membership Criteria

Assist with House Front activities at concerts (handing out programs, click counting the audience, ushering, etc.) Dress should be appropriate concert attire and not school clothes.

Attend the Symphony Series Concerts and the International Chamber Series Concerts.

Encourage friends and family to attend concerts.

Conduct should exemplify the honor of the title "Symphony Intern." Failure to do so will result in dismissal from the program.

Following the two semester term as a Symphony Intern, students are invited to become a Symphony Associate and continue their work with the Symphony by providing assistance at concerts. The position as a Symphony Associate may be held until graduation from college.


Interns are selected for one semester (Fall - Sep - Dec. Spring - Jan - May) and may continue for a second semester. Students involved in a high school marching band program involving Friday night games should only apply for the spring semester.

A fee of $30 is due for each semester. Interns continuing a second semester need not write another essay or submit another teacher recommendation letter.
