AUDITION INFORMATION

Course selections for the 2023-2024 school year have made their way through your household and preparations for the next school year have sprung. If you will be new to the orchestra program please see the linked information and welcome handout. 

Audition information can be found in this link. Please note that due dates for auditions will depend on the orchestra you choose to audition for. Our two most advanced groups require a live audition. Groups 3-6 have a recording requirement. Lastly, everyone should understand that every student must audition for a group if they would like to be a part of the Tompkins Orchestra program. Audition etudes will be released in April by your current orchestra director.
