Electrify Your Strings
Now embarking on its 12th year, Electrify Your Strings (EYS) is a music educational phenomenon that FIRES UP
students, teachers, and local communities by injecting a high voltage dose of energy and much-needed funding
into a school’s music education program. This intensive experience boosts student self-esteem and motivation,
increases school-wide, family and community engagement, and helps raise money for participating schools.
Created by international recording artist, electric violinist, and music education advocate Mark Wood, EYS connects students, teachers, and administrators to the vibrancy of music in an unforgettable experience culminating
in a live performance, with ticket sales directly benefiting the participating music department.
The premise is simple, Mark Wood works with a school’s orchestra director to design a tailor-made, two-day rock
orchestra makeover culminating in a live performance at the end of the experience. Profits from tickets sold to the
event directly benefit the school’s music programs. The musical selections are surprising and include Wood’s own
compositions, plus his exclusive arrangements of classic rock and contemporary music.
Mark Wood and his team seek to awaken student musicians to their highest potential, opening them up to the
adventure of music. EYS transforms quiet young musicians into expressive people who can’t wait to learn! Imagine a fifteen year old rushing to orchestra because he or she can’t wait to play. Imagine an energized concert hall
buzzing with anticipation for music played by these students. EYS makes this happen!
On December 3, Electrify Your Strings comes to Boerne. Over 300 Boerne ISD orchestra students in grades 6-12
from Boerne High and Champion High Schools, Boerne Middle School North and South, Cibolo Creek, Curington,
Fabra, Fair Oaks, and Kendall Elementary Schools will participate in this two-day event featuring Mark Wood.
On Tuesday, December 2, to prepare for the concert, Mark will be teaching the students improvisation, composition, and personal expression on their violins violas, cellos, and basses. Students will rehearse with Mark Wood
to fine tune pieces that they have been working on since September. Utilizing Mark’s music arrangements that
were sent to the district prior to his visit, BISD students will work with Mark in rehearsal to fine tune the music in
preparation for the big concert on Wednesday, December 3. Students will have a dress rehearsal with Mark and
then present their concert at 7:00pm in the Champion High School Auditorium.
Mark Wood is an international recording artist, an original member of the multi-platinum selling Trans-Siberian Orchestra. He studied under maestro Leonard Bernstein, is a Julliard–trained violinist and Emmy-winning composer.
Mark has worked with Celine Dion, Lenny Kravitz, Billy Joel and more. Mark is the creator of the revolutionary
Viper electric violins, SV Stingray, and Cobra cello.
