Returning YMO Students

FOR YMO STUDENTS RETURNING FOR THE UPCOMING 2020-21 SEASON

All current YMO students are automatically considered a returning member of YMO for next season.  However, Mr. Pignataro requires re-auditions to see how much each student has progressed since last year and to assign parts and seating.  Re-auditions are mandatory. This year all re-auditions will be via online video uploads. You’ll receive details about how to submit videos in April.

In the days following re-auditions, each student will receive an invitation to register for next year’s season, together with a link to next year’s schedule.

  • Play in one continuous video: 
    • About 3 minutes of a solo highlighting your skills
    • Scales – Violin: D major, Viola+Cello: G major, Bass: A major; All woodwinds, brass, and mallet percussion: A major
      • Play as many octaves as you can
      • Play any speed, articulation, and/or bowing
    • NO SIGHT-READING for returning YMO students
  • The purpose of re-auditions is to assign parts and seating.  All current students who are not graduating are automatically considered a returning member for next year.
  • If you are not planning to return to YMO next year, please notify us so that we may open up your spot to another applicant.
