Youth Orchestra Audition Music Available Now

Reno Philharmonic Youth Orchestras announces auditions.

Youth Symphony Orchestra - grades 7 - 12
Rehearses Mondays 6:30-8:30 p.m. at McKinley Arts Center
This is the most advanced orchestra.

Youth Concert Orchestra - grades 7 - 12
Rehearses Mondays 4 - 6 p.m. at McKinley Arts Center
This is a middle level orchestra and several Billinghurst students are members.

Youth String Symphonia - grades 4 - 8
Rehearses Mondays 4 - 5:15 p.m. at Billinghurst
This orchestra is perfect for middle school students who wish to challenge themselves.  Billinghurst orchestra students make up a large percentage of this orchestra.  

Billinghurst Orchestras always have many, many students in the Reno Philharmonic Youth Orchestra program.  This year there are new rules about auditions which make it easier for students who are already members.  If you are already a member of one of the Reno Philharmonic Youth Orchestras and are eligible to remain in that orchestra for the next school year (usually by grade), you do not have to re-audition to remain in the group.  You do have to sign an intent to return.

Students who want to audition for the first time should get the audition materials from Mrs. Neidhold.  Although you can get the music on the Reno Philharmonic website, Mrs. Neidhold will include fingerings and practice suggestions.  The deadline for signing up is May 16th.

Here are some important links:

To apply to take the audition either for the first time or to move up orchestras.  This application will reserve your audition time.

Intent to return form for students who are already members and wish to stay in the same orchestra.  
(Current 8th grade students are no longer eligible for YSS in high school next year and should apply to take the audition for YCO.)
