Indy Flute Shop – Looking Ahead

It’s that time of year! You’re most likely in band camp season, memorizing your music, learning your drill charts, and preparing for the school year to start. Since you are about to get into the busyness of the season, I want to put some things on your radar to start planning for. And don’t worry, I will post updates as I hear about more events! Attending flute events and even entering flute competitions can be EXTREMELY beneficial for your musical journey. It is literally an entire evening, day, or multiple days of all things flute related. You get to learn from experts, meet other flutists, and dive deep into the flute world. You don’t normally do this kind of thing in band class. If you’d like to elevate your playing and knowledge of the flute, I highly recommend you check these out!
