We will consider students for orchestra groups lower than the ones they select if appropriate (excluding chamber ensemble.) Students applying for an orchestra + the chamber ensemble must prepare both sets of required materials.
Please note that the requirements for all rounds is identical. Earlier rounds have a slight advantage in the sense that we do not hold spots open for later rounds. Therefore, it is generally a good idea to submit earlier rather than later if possible.
We certify that we have read the DAAYO web site audition information and we understand that:

1. DAAYO conductors admit and place applicants based solely on student’s demonstrated ability

2. Tuition is due at the student’s first rehearsal in accordance with DAAYO’s tuition policy

3. The orchestra's performance requires the student's exemplary attendance and preparedness. Excessive absences will impact the student's eligibility to perform at concerts.

4. The audition fee of 25 dollars is non-refundable.

5. I have read and understand the audition eligibility and FAQs located on this website, as well as the tuition refund policies.
Price: $25.00
