All Rhapsody students are required to audition for All Region unless a major conflict that has been approved by the director arises. Intermezzo students are encouraged to audition for All Region. Any other students are encouraged to talk to a director about All Region.
Since 2005 the orchestra program at Guyer High School has established itself as a force to be reckoned with in North Texas and beyond. Rhapsody, the Varsity ensemble, has twice ranked as a finalist in the elite Texas Honor Orchestra Competition, initially in 2009-2010 (ranking 10th as a 4A school), and again in 2016-2017 (ranking 8th as a 6A). In 2009 and 2017, the orchestra received National recognition when they were named "National Winners" in the Mark of Excellence National Honors Program and in 2022 as "Commended Winners".
Excellence, enjoyment, responsibility, and integrity are the core principles that drive the success of this program. With these principles, we continue to fulfill our mission of providing Guyer students with the highest quality string program possible.
Please contact the directors with any questions about participation and/or the audition process. Use the links above to navigate this site.

We no longer use Charms Office Assistant, so all group emails are sent through Presto Music Assistant. You should have already received a welcome letter and should be able to log in. If you forget your password, you are able to reset that on your own without us having to do it for you.
Please fill out this form if you would like contact information for private teachers who are on the DISD Approved list. More information about the Private Lesson program can be found in the Orchestra Handbook.
