2010 IMEA Audition Preparation Class
This section of the camp is open to Junior High string players and all Senior High orchestral instrumentalists who intend to audition for District 9 and All State competitions in the fall of 2010. Students will prepare the audition material through both large ensemble rehearsals and instrument-specific assistance in sectionals. Mock auditions and experiencing the collective sound of the orchestra will give participating students a greater understanding of the repertoire and a competitive edge!
