Double or Nothing Oboe and Bassoon Camp
Yes! You read that title correctly! We are proud to announce the first year of the Double or Nothing Oboe and Bassoon Camp! We will be on the campus of Wright State University in Dayton, Ohio from Monday July 13 thru Friday July 17, 2015!
Wait, what happenEd to Queen City Double Reed camp?
We had a great experience with Xavier University and QCDRC, but we are growing in new ways and we have a new partnership to help continue our growth and to enhance our ability to work with young double reed players. Many things are still the same, including our basic schedule and faculty members, but our new friends at the Wright State School of Music will help us make camp a more memorable and more educational experience for students.

Halloween in the Cemetery!
Sponsored in part by Double or Nothing Reeds, the Double or Nothing Ensemble will partner with the Spring Grove Cemetery to provide a family friendly Halloween event to be held in the Norman Chapel on the grounds of the Spring Grove Cemetery on October 24th, 2014. We will provide an enriched experience, complete with Halloween music and stories, in a safe environment for people of all ages. The program will start at 6:30pm.

Punch and treats will be served after the performance.
Admission is free with the donation of a canned or non-perishable food product. All donations will be given to the Freestore Foodbank.
