Governor’s School for the Arts is a 6 week summer music enrichment program. It takes place annually at Radford University. Students are selected to attend by audition. The first step is a school based audition. Then names are submitted to the governor’s school and they will contact you for a second audition to determine if you qualify for their program. It is very important that you prepare adequately for both auditions and turn in all paper work on time.
