We highly encourage out student members to supplement their academic-year music experience with a school music program and/or private lessons, if possible.
The CYSO Orchestras take careful consideration into decisions made based on each auditioning applicant's performance. Students are placed in the ensemble that best matches their current skill level. Therefore, we kindly advise that students refrain from auditioning unless they can commit to the program, attending ALL concerts and rehearsals.
