Speaking of grades, please check in with the InTouch system. In either case, please email me via my school address to help me update my records. If you didn't receive that email, it is because 1) I don't have your address (as reported on the Handbook form from the beginning of the year), or 2) I have a misspelled address for you. I just sent an email to both parents and students explaining what you might see on your first 6-week grade report. I won't guarantee a same-day answer, but I will get back to you as soon as I am able. Generally speaking, Advanced Orchestra students should score at least a 4 in all categories.įeel free to email me with any questions you may have about the audition over break. This isn't necessarily the tool I'll use to determine acceptance, but it can be a helpful reference as students prepare. To help with preparations, I have added a link to the right of the district scoring guide. Note that violinists need to prepare both parts, unless they don't want to be considered for first violin. Here are also links for Violins, Viola, Cello, and Bass. The cover sheet, including the excerpts, may be found here. Music is being distributed to interested students before they leave for winter break. Any students wishing to join or to continue need to pass the audition. Auditions for Advanced Orchestra, spring semester, will occur during finals week at the end of January.
