It’s March, so we are once again preparing for the All Sate Orchestra auditions. They will be held on Saturday March 16 at Eastern Re-
gional HS in Voorhees. Both the high school (ASO) and Intermediate (ASIO) auditions will be taking place at this time. I look forward to seeing everyone there! By now, everyone has heard that unfortunately, the 2012 ASO was cancelled due to the storm. Fortunately, Maestro John Yaffé has agreed to conduct in 2013. The students will be performing the program they would have played this year. Thank you to Maestro Yaffé for his flex- ibility in this unusual situation. At the end of April the ASIO will begin rehearsing. As I write this, we are in the process of finalizing the conductor and program. Look for more information in the May issue of TEMPO!
