Orchestra Placement Auditions for 2019-2020
This week in class I have passed out the Orchestra Placement Audition material and information to all students (except 8th graders moving on to high school). This is the music the students will play for me so I can figure out placement in the 3 advanced orchestras (concert, philharmonic, and symphony) for the 2019-2020 school year.
Students should work on this material to play for me on a day between April 25-May 2 during their class and/or sectional time. This means that there is no need to come after school for a special Symphony orchestra audition, like was done in the past.
If the students want to be placed in a non-varsity orchestra (concert or philharmonic) they should look at the requirements under those orchestras, if they want to audition for symphony they should follow the requirements listed under that orchestra. If they audition for symphony and do not get in next year, they will be placed in a non-varsity orchestra.
If students misplace their packets, the info and music can be found on the orchestra BLEND page under "Practice Resources". We will be looking over the music a little bit in class, but it is up to the students to prepare for this placement audition.
