Audition for GSYO

Before you apply for an audition:

• All participants must show proof of full Covid-19 vaccination at time of audition. GSYO encourages booster shots for all who are eligible.

• Carefully read the requirements that are posted for each orchestra and ensemble, and prepare your audition accordingly. The first round of Spring auditions have concluded.
• If auditioning for the 23-24 season, check that there are openings for your instrument at your desired orchestra level. When there are no openings, applications will be held until either a position becomes available or the next open Spring audition period begins, whichever comes first.

• There is a $30.00 audition fee. This fee is NON-REFUNDABLE.

• If you have any questions, please review the FAQ.

• Interested in the Senior Symphony Orchestra? Please note the following: Musicians who are accepted to the Senior Symphony must attend the Summer Retreat, Aug. 3-8, 2023 as well as the International Tour in late June/early July 2024.

• All applicants will be notified of the results of their audition by e-mail. Placement decisions of the conducting staff are final and non-appealable. If accepted into one of the orchestras, students will be sent enrollment information including information on annual season fees.

• All orchestra members are encouraged to participate in school music programs when such programs exist. By participating in a school music program, you benefit by playing every day, becoming a better sight-reader, and playing an important part in helping to build meaningful music programs in your schools and communities.

• GSYO gives equal membership opportunity to all individuals regardless of race, color, religion, national origin, gender, sexual orientation, gender expression, citizenship, disability, or geographic location.
