Audition Information
Please remember, an audition is only required for our Symphony Orchestra (students new to the ensemble). Our Concert Orchestra remains a non-auditioned ensemble. However, we are looking to track our musicians more closely in 2018-19. Assessments regarding these placements will be made by the appropriate music faculty and affiliated string coaches. Auditions will take place in late April and early May at Mira Mesa High School, Wangenheim Middle School, and Challenger Middle School. MIOSM March is Music in Our Schools Month (MIOSM) through the National Association for Music Education. As such, we have designed a few activities for our Mira Mesa musicians over the upcoming break. Orchestra Clinics We are partnering with the San Diego State University School of Music and Dance and their Director of Orchestras, Professor Michael Gerdes, in order to provide orchestral clinics to our students over the upcoming break. On Monday, March 26th, our Concert Orchestra will receive a clinic from 1:00 - 3:00 PM. Following a brief break, our Symphony Orchestra will receive a clinic from 4:00 - 6:00 PM. Optional Activity
In addition to the orchestral clinics on March 26th, we are offering our students the opportunity to participate in an optional trip to Anaheim on Tuesday and Wednesday. Here are the pertinent documents: As always, let me know if you have any questions. Thank you! Musco Center for the Arts | March 3, 2018 Thank you and congratulations to all the students who made yesterday's Symphony Orchestra performance at the Musco Center for the Arts possible! What a great opportunity for our musicians - the opportunity to perform in a beautiful hall, receive feedback from high-quality adjudicators, and enjoy the performance of another wonderful high school orchestra. Putting together an opportunity such as this requires collaboration and coordination from any number of individuals and organizations. So, thank you to the Philharmonic Society of Orange County for hosting this event in collaboration with the Chapman University College of Performing Arts, to our adjudicators Mr. Jeung and Professor Wachs, to our school administration for supporting our participation, to our chaperones for volunteering to assist as necessary, and of course, to all of the families and friends who made the trip up to support our musicians! Again, thank you to all who help make quality music education experiences possible for our musicians. Thank you and congratulations, Marauders!
