Western Michigan University observed the 50th consecutive year of its celebrated high school summer music camp in 2001. The 57th session will be held from July 13-26, 2008, on the university's main campus in Kalamazoo where some 135 students from six areas of study (brass, woodwind, percussion, string, vocal/choral, and keyboard) will gather to pursue and develop their interests in music.

SEMINAR is designed to serve as an enjoyable, pre-college experience for serious, young musicians. It is organized to promote artistic, social, recreational, and cultural interaction among the participating young artists. It simultaneously serves as a vital experience for the students as well as a valid artistic representation of the School of Music at Western Michigan University. School of Music Associate Director Carl Doubleday has been the administrative director of SEMINAR since 1968. Concerts Assistant Kevin West has served as registrar since 1995.
