As we prepare for our final rehearsal of the year, we will review everything from most basic, all the way through the nuances in our concert music. Let’s finish strong by remembering the following:
- Please be on time with instrument, music and a pencil.
- Have everything organized – music (in order), know who your stand partner is, etc.
- Have a positive attitude and be ready to learn new things, right up until the concert!

What happens at retreat and why is it valuable to my student? At retreat, we have extended sectional time with our coaches (it’s also our last sectional for the quarter), and we have double full group rehearsal time. Just as importantly – we have time built in for social activities and team bonding!
Seating Auditions. Seating auditions are optional and take place during Week 5. Auditions are used to determine the following leadership positions: Concertmaster, Assistant Concertmaster, Principals and Assistant Principals for 2nd Violin, Viola and Cello. There is no makeup auditions in order to maintain fairness. If your child plans on being absent and you’d like to send a recording, please do so before the deadline. Please understand consideration is given towards in-person auditions due to the nature of playing live.
