The Student Rewards Program

The program
The Lewisville Lake Symphony operates the Student Rewards Program in cooperation with area school districts and private music academies.

Campus music directors decide the rules for which of their students should get the free Symphony tickets. Usually they provide them to students who have shown major improvement, rehearsed diligently, or who might have their eyes opened by going to a live concert performed by professional musicians. 

Some music directors off-load the program to their orchestra booster club officers.

Directors and booster clubs can also discreetly distribute tickets to students whose parents might not be able to afford to buy them.

Students are also given extra tickets so they can invite their parents or guardians to the concert.

Music Directors talk about the program

Our students have given us such great feedback about the concerts they get to attend thanks to you and your wonderful organization.  We really appreciate you!!!

This concert sounds like it will be my favorite of the whole season.  I have several students who will be performing the next week after the concert and I would love to use the student reward tickets for the concert to reward them for their hard work in preparing flute solos and duets.  Plus, I think all flute players should see Stars and Stripes performed live.

My students loved the concert Friday! I really have a great group of kids this year and they are loving the rewards program.
