Our last day at the festival was about as exciting as they come! After the late night in Chicago the night before, we were all able to sleep in a bit before soundcheck for our final performance, which was on campus at UW-Parkside.
Early Saturday morning, we loaded the bus, as well as a few cars, to head to Chicago for an epic day of performances!
After breakfast on the final Friday of fresh inc, the participants presented their New Venture Challenges. During the first day of the festival, participants were split into groups, and each group had to work up a project proposal for one of the performance venues from the festival.
The final Thursday of fresh inc 2014 was an intense rehearsal and lesson day for the participants.
Wednesday morning was jam packed with rehearsals, lessons, and practicing! After the workshop heavy day on Tuesday, it was nice to get back to the nitty gritty of rehearsing and working on getting our pieces performance ready Wednesday morning.
Monday was our day off, so there’s not too much to report! Faculty members hit up their favorite Kenosha food place — Captain Mike’s, and our participants went to the beach, explored Kenosha, and did some practicing. The second Tuesday of fresh inc got us back into the swing of things bright and early!

The first Sunday of the festival began with one set of rehearsals and composition lessons.
On the first Saturday of the festival, the instrumentalists had the morning off to practice or have lessons with faculty members. The composers got together for a presentation from one of their colleagues and the first of two forums on composer resources. We ate lunch an hour early because after lunch we loaded up the cars …
Day five of fresh inc started with a morning rehearsal, and Eric taking more headshots of our participants.
