Upcoming events.
Campus Tour
Taking a campus tour is the best way to fall in love with the University of Arizona. We offer multiple ways for you to visit and learn more about becoming a Wildcat. Just be prepared because once you visit, you’ll want to stay forever. Get the inside scoop about attending Arizona with a walking tour led by a Campus Ambassador. Come prepared to ask any questions you have about Wildcat life!
Vendor Tour
Follow our vendor coordinator Leigh Muñoz as she guides you through the exhibit hall. Meet the vendors one-on-one during this session exclusively for pre-college participants, and learn what to look for when shopping and trying out equipment!
Creativity, Composition, and Improvisation Performance Class with Stephanie Willow Patterson and John Steinmetz
Welcome to the musical sandbox! We will explore new ways of approaching the bassoon, different performance techniques, sound mainipulation, and even some improvisation! After learning some new techniques, composer John Steinmetz will lead us as we create and workshop our own composition, to be performed later in the weekend!
Note: As an organization, Meg Quigley has made the decision to move away from the term “Masterclass.”
Reed Making: Forming
Ariel Detwiler, owner of ACDC Reeds, will give an introductory masterclass on reed forming. This class will include information on cane and tool selection, and will teach Ariel's entire process of forming with hot water to ensure the quick and consistent construction of a reed blank. Cane, wire, and string will be provided for you. Bring a small heat-resistant bowl and a reed drying rack if you have one. Necessary tools: mandrel, pliers, thin metal ruler.
