All orchestra students have the opportunity to audition for the Region 2 Orchestra Clinic & Concert each October. This can be a very challenging but positive experience for students and the key is in attitude and preparation. Private lessons can be very helpful for preparation, but are not necessary to succeed-- come talk to me about options!
All SC middle & high school orchestra students that are enrolled in their school's orchestra programs are eligible to audition for the annual Regions Orchestra Clinic & Concert. The Region 2 Orchestra is a two-day event held November 15-16th for the strongest string players in the Upstate South region. On average, over 500 students audition each year to try and land a spot in the top 60 for their grade divisions: 6-8th grade, 9-10th grade, and 11-12th grade. Students who participate in their Regions Orchestra may audition for the South Carolina All-State Orchestra, drawing from the most talented players in the entire state. Both events are wonderful opportunities for students to perform with the finest student musicians in South Carolina and to perform under the direction of a nationally/internationally renowned conductor. A private teacher is strongly encouraged if you pass the audition and need to prepare for regions or all-state weekend.
