When most students think of “band camp,” usually one of two scenarios emerge. The first being a clumsy but content marching band, clad in unflattering ruffles. The second, a certain scene from a certain nineties cult classic. However, it just so happens the Boston University Tanglewood Institute (BUTI), junior Harrison Miller’s summer program of choice, does not meet any of these criteria. In fact, BUTI is the most prestigious summer orchestra program in the world. Under the guidance of the elite Boston Symphony Orchestra and other professionals, BUTI is an artistic haven, driven by the passion and skill of those who attend. From a 7:30 a.m. wake up everyday to many music-filled late nights, it’s really quite the experience.

Several students submitted their own summer concert experiences below.
