2022-2023 Atholton Orchestra Audition Information

Welcome to Atholton High School Orchestra! We are very excited that you are interested in joining our team for the coming year and hope to make your transition as smooth as possible. While prior experience is required for enrollment in all of our ensembles, formal auditions are only required for enrollment in our advanced String Orchestra GT class (also known as Chamber Orchestra and course code MU-820-1). Students with prior string playing experience may enroll in the String Orchestra (also known as Concert Orchestra and course code MU-520-1) without a formal audition.

** Please keep in mind that these audition guidelines are for consideration in placement in the GT string orchestra class. Begin preparing your materials early and often to help ensure you are demonstrating your best work. Listening to recordings of these excerpts is a FANTASTIC way to understand the context of each section/piece and is highly recommended.**


As always, please ask Mr. Woomert for clarification or help in preparing your music.  Good luck with your audition preparation, we look forward to hearing you play!
