String Fling will celebrate its 37th anniversary in 2010. Anywhere from 600-850 string students in grades 5-9 attend a weekend festival the first weekend after classes begin in January. There are seven orchestras. Scholarship students are required to set up chairs on Friday and then help tune and chaperone from 8:00—4:00 Saturday and 8:30—12:00 on Sunday. This requirement is non-negotiable. String Fling generates about a third of the string scholarship money.
