The camp runs from July 5 – 8 and July 12 – 15, from 10:00am – 12:00pm each day (staff is expected to be on site from 9:30pm – 12:30pm). The finale concert is held on evening of July 15th.

Letter from Kevin J. Giroux — NYSSMA Festival Chairperson - Tri-Valley
January 15, 2010
Dear Music Educators:
The Tri-Valley Central School District will be hosting a solo/ensemble festival on May 14 and 15, 2010, at Tri-Valley High School. We will be an All-State site for everything except Jazz—that will be held at Minisink Valley Central School on May 21st and 22nd. In order to schedule your students based upon their need and yours, I urge you to return your registration forms promptly. Scheduling will be on a first come, first served (scheduled) basis. If I am unable to accommodate your students, I will notify you immediately. As a result of schools’ spring vacations, ALL FORM A’s AND FEES ARE TO BE POSTMARKD BY FRIDAY, MARCH 26, 2010. I know that most of you have filled out Form A’s before, but for scheduling sake, please read the attached directions carefully, to alleviate confusion. I have also attached an Excel format of Form A that will sum up your totals if you choose to type your Form A. Tri-Valley Info LetterForm A Template
