The SVVSD Middle School Honor Orchestra membership is chosen audition. Students prepare an appropriate 2 octave scale for their instrument: D Major for Violins; G Major for Violas, Cellos, and Basses. They also prepare an excerpt from the current Honor Orchestra literature. Recorded auditions are judged by specialists on the instrument.

There are now 12 string orchestra programs in SVVSD. This is a merit based ensemble. Students chosen for this event attend two evening rehearsals and one all day field trip & clinic. They prepare a concert program of music in a short amount of time. Attendees get section coaching from the SVVSD teacher who specializes in their instrument.

Audition information is distributed in your Schoology App once it is available.
