Audition and Repetoire information

Audition Requirements

Concert-There are no auditions to be accepted into the Concert Orchestra. As long as space is available, all students who register for camp that have at least 1 year of study and are in 5th and 6th grade will be placed in this orchestra without needing an audition.


Philharmonic- Geared primarily toward students in Middle School, this orchestra requires an audition in person on Saturday, June 14th. This ensemble will also be opened to students that would like to audition that fall in the age range of Concert but are more advanced students.


Symphony- This is our most advanced orchestra. This is primarily geared towards High School students or students that have multiple years of experience and wish to audition for this ensemble. Auditions will be in person on Saturday, June 14th. 


Chamber- 



Signups for a live audition slot will be sent out on June 8th to all those planning on auditioning for the Philharmonic, Symphony or Chamber Orchestra. 




Audition Procedures

Audition Music 


The audition music consists of excerpts from the music that the orchestras will be playing during camp.  It will be posted on the website on May 14th.  ​Two excerpts will be recommended for each orchestra; however, you should play the two excerpts that you can perform the best. You must be able to accurately and musically perform the last two excerpts to be considered for placement in the Symphony Orchestra.  ​
