Music Major for a Day

USD Department of Music | Vermillion, SD
which will take place on Friday, September 19, 2025, from 8:30 am – 5:00 pm. High school juniors and
seniors are invited to come to USD and experience what it is like to be a music major for a day. Students
will have the opportunity to attend music classes, enjoy a faculty and student recital, participate in
lessons and/or masterclasses, explore the USD campus, and enjoy social time with current and
prospective music students. They will also have the chance to ask questions in a faculty Q&A session as
well as meet and work with the professors in their areas of interest. This event allows prospective
students to get a better understanding of what awaits them as they transition from high school to
college. Our hope is that they will come away with a sense of excitement about becoming a music major
and becoming involved in higher education in general.
Despite the name of the event, the day is not only for future music majors. USD is famous for having
music minors as well as participants involved in our ensembles and some of our music classes. This
event will give students an idea of how they might want to be involved in music after they graduate high
school and continue their musical path.
