What orchestras can I audition for?
GTCYS has 11 school-year orchestras which range from beginning to pre-professional. While there are specific audition requirements for each orchestra, auditions are for entry into the program and judges will place students based on their ability.
Students should pick ONE of the audition levels below based on their abilities and experience:
- Beginning skills: Philharmonia (strings only), Sinfonia (winds, brass, percussion)
- Developing skills: Sinfonia / Concertino (strings), Concertino (winds, brass, percussion)
- Advanced skills: Camerata / Concert Orchestra (all)
- Most advanced skills: Philharmonic / Symphony (all)
Special note for euphonium players:
Euphonium players may use the trombone audition requirements to audition for the Sinfonia, Concertino, and Camerata level orchestras. Euphonium players interested in membership in Concert Orchestra, Philharmonic, and Symphony should switch to either the trombone or tuba.
