Allegra Smith<br />

Director of Intermediate Girls Lakeside<br />

Allegra was a counselor, unit leader, and assistant director in Intermediate<br />

Girls from 2005-2009, and returned to Intermediate Girls Lakeside as Director<br />

in 2011 and 2012. She graduated with a Bachelors in Music Per<strong>for</strong>mance<br />

and Education from Ithaca College and a Masters in Clarinet Per<strong>for</strong>mance<br />

from <strong>the</strong> University of Colorado Boulder. She has been a middle school band<br />

teacher in Middletown, NY <strong>for</strong> 3 years.<br />

Allegra's first camp experience was at a Girl Scout day camp. She came to<br />

<strong>Interlochen</strong> as a very homesick just-finished 6th grade camper. After a long<br />

week when she was convinced she wouldn't survive, her camp experience<br />

was turned around by her first Intermediate Band concert and a postcard from<br />

her counselor Jen saying congratulations and that camp only got better after<br />

<strong>the</strong> first week. She <strong>the</strong>n returned to <strong>Interlochen</strong> as a camper <strong>for</strong> a total of 4<br />

Intermediate summers and 1 High School summer- proof that homesickness<br />

is survivable!
