Auditions for OAYO's 2025-26 Season are currently closed.
Late auditions may open at a later date for specific instruments and ensembles.
Access audition materials
Students will prepare an audition packet and submit video auditions to a Submittable form (link coming shortly). Auditions are due no later than 11:59 PM on June 1, 2025.
Students will be placed in the ensemble that is the best fit for them based on:
- Their audition
- Balancing instrumentation between the ensembles (woodwinds, brass, and percussion).
Students will prepare the audition packet for the most advanced orchestra they wish to be considered for. For example: if a student wishes to be considered for Youth Philharmonic or Youth Concert Strings, they will prepare the Youth Philharmonic Packet ONLY.
OAYO strives to place each student in an ensemble that is the best fit for their demonstrated skill level.
Please note: If a student prepares an excerpt for a particular ensemble, and it is determined that ensemble is not the right fit for the student, they may be considered for a spot in another OAYO orchestra (for example, if a student prepares the excerpt for YS, they can also be considered for can be considered for YP or YCS). There is no fee to audition for OAYO.
