One girl broke her arm early in the winter term. She had to miss over two months of the program, and I would have expected her to not return late in the term. However, with 3 or 4 weeks to go in the term she returned because she insisted she wanted to be part of the end-of-year concert program. That’s dedication, and it tells me that what we’re doing is of interest to the students (and their parents) in this area.

The University of South Carolina String Project, now in its 44thyear, has won national recognition, including the Verner Award and a documentary on South Carolina ETV celebrating the 20th anniversary of the program. When the University of South Carolina String Project was founded in 1974 there was just one small string program in the Columbia metropolitan area. Now all five school districts in the Columbia area have large and active string programs, with orchestras in every high school and six regional youth orchestras.
