Summer 07


Welcome to the first post for the Dubuque Fiddlers. Please feel free to email me pictures or text to post on our blog! We would love to hear about/see performances, trips, camps, auditions, recitals - anything at all that relates to the kids in the Dubuque Fiddlers and their artistic accomplishments.

I will go ahead and try to post here the information from our Blue Lake trip for anyone interested.

Have fun and don't forget to send me stuff - does anyone have pictures of the DubuqueFest performance?




This picture shows the lake at the camp, and the incredible beauty and peacefulness of the Michigan woods surrounded by lilting melodies from pianos, trumpets, cellos, violins and more.









Here is Malia's repertoire group playing outside in the bandshell, as many of the classes do.










Malia especially enjoyed playing quartets for the first time at Blue Lake. All eleven of us shared one big happy cabin in the woods filled with bunks of sleeping bags, fiddle fests around the campfire, instrument trading (thanks to Sam for allowing everyone, even Wendy, to try out his cello), and of course s'mores.
