DAAYO Video Submission – Important points to remember:

Not adhering to the following points could delay your audition or cause us to ask for a resubmission (potentially missing deadlines.)

  1. Submit and pay for your audition application form (located at the bottom of this page), then follow the directions below for video submission. This form needs to be filled out and turned in before any videos can be processed.
  2. Make sure that your entire upper body as well as your two hands and instrument are clearly visible. (i.e. don’t be too close to the camera). No accompaniment or metronome should be used during recording. Recordings must also be unedited.
  3. Upload video to a cloud service (e.g. Youtube). Label the video with your name, your desired group and instrument. For example –John_Doe_Philharmonic_violin. You should only upload 1 video for all requirements.
  4. After uploading your video to a service like Youtube, email the link only (made publicly accessible) to daayo.auditions@gmail.com by your selected deadline (indicated on the website). In your email please make sure to clearly indicate your Full Name and the group(s) you are applying for. Do NOT send the actual video file.
  5. Ensure that you make the file public or remove any privacy permissions on cloud services before you send or share it.
  6. Remember to submit all requirements for your desired group. If you are applying for both the chamber ensemble and an orchestra ensemble, you need to prepare both sets of requirements. (Requirements located on bottom half of this page).
Important note: please do NOT use a yahoo.com or sbcglobal.net email, as we are currently experiencing issues delivering email to these addresses. This is our primary method of contacting you. Please make sure this is an email that is checked frequently.
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.
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
