A Message from the Maestro:
I hope you are having a great summer! Auditions are coming up very soon and we are excited to put together the orchestras for our 59th concert season. 

The music is being assembled and prepared, and the selections this season are inspiring and inspirational. Encourage your friends who want to experience the exhilaration of performing the best orchestral music written to get involved. 

See you soon.  

Mr. Benson

** It is to the advantage of the musician to try and schedule an audition in accordance with the schedule. Make-up auditions are the very last round and some sections may be full. You will be notified of your placement in an orchestra by Mr. Benson or Mrs. Sanchez. Good Luck :) 

Having a great audition requires some planning. Take a look at some " Audition Dos and Donts" to have the best audition that you can!

We're looking for some great musicians. Please pass on this message!
