New Audition Guidelines for 2009-2010 School Year

Wed, 24 Sep 2008 20:54:33 GMT

After the 2008-2009 YES/JYO season, there will be an audition change regarding the selection of students for YES and JYO orchestras in the Lincoln Public Schools. Currently, former members of these orchestras are automatically accepted into the orchestra the following year (providing they will be in grades 5-8 for YES or grade 6-9 for JYO) and must audition for "chair placements" only.

New audition guidelines will be implemented for the 2009-2010 school year.

New Audition Guidelines

Youth Ensemble of Strings (YES) -- All students must audition annually for a place in the Youth Ensemble of Strings (YES).

Junior Youth Orchestra (JYO) -- Students must audition for membership in JYO their first and their second year. After two years of membership, students need only to audition for seating placement.
