On Wednesday, Nov. 5, 2025, high school students are invited to spend the day on campus - and experience life as a music student at UW-River Falls. Teachers and parents are invited, too! 

During the UWRF Day of Music, attendees will learn about music at UW-River Falls (auditions, degrees, ensembles, faculty, etc), attend classes, sit in on rehearsals, take an applied lesson, go on a campus tour, and more. 

Please help us to spread the word by sharing this flyer and webpage - thanks!!  

We look forward to spending the day with you!
