lows the scale and solo repertoire require- ments of the All-State Orchestra. Please check the region or state website for further details. All accepted region orchestra string members will receive concert music prior to the first rehearsal. A string reseating audition on the concert repertoire will take place at the second rehearsal. The solo scores from the initial audition will be combined with the repertoire scores to determine the new seating. We hope your school year is going well.
Please contact us if we can assist you in any way. We always need site hosts for concerts and rehearsals as well as sectional coaches for strings, winds and percussion. Check the dates in the Region calendar and contact us to sign up.
