Region II Information
Region II Region, All-County, and All-State Orchestras
1) Region Orchestra - 7th and 8th graders will be asked to audition for Region Orchestra. The audition occurs on the first Saturday of October. The audition is blind - meaning that the judges can hear the students play, but they cannot see the students. If a student has a successful audition, the student will perform in the Region Orchestra Event.
Audition: 10/7/23 @ League Academy
Event: 11/3/23 - 11/4/23 @ Anderson University
2) All-County Orchestra - 7th and 8th grader who did not make it into the Region Orchestra may try to audition for All-County Orchestra, an middle school-only event much like the Region Orchestra event, though it is only 1 day long. These auditions will be done virtually and due by early November.
Audition: Videos due by 11/8/23.
Event: 1/26/24 @ Riverside High School.
3) All-State Orchestra: Those who succeeded in their Region auditions are allowed to continue on to compete at a state level. The auditions and event are always hosted in Columbia, SC as a middle ground for all the students that participate.
Audition: 1/6/24 @ Irmo High School.
Event: 2/23/24 - 2/25/24 @ [location TBA].
