I did not get into any of the summer festivals I applied to this year. This is especially difficult since I went to a well-known festival last summer and had such an amazing experience. I wanted to know if anyone is/was in a similar situation. Any ways I can spend my summer productively outside of practicing?

I FEEL you!!! I put in for 3 festivals this yr, 2 rejected me, one waitlisted me (which is actually an accomplishment but still oof) so I was so hurting and doubting my recordings I sent in and everything (news flash, they were still great recordings)! Don't lose hope about it, there's still a few places accepting, the Monteux festival was recommended to me on here actually and I just got accepted as they needed violins! I'm not sure if they need basses, couldn't hurt to ask, but there's for sure places still doing rolling deadlines. Plus, if not, there's certainly orchestra subbing, teaching students, helping with a kids music camp, gigs, all sorts! Summer festivals are being weird this year, so take heart I think its just a weird year! 🫶
