All participating students, including returning students, are required to audition in August. Be sure to consult your private teacher before scheduling an audition. The Vanderbilt Youth Orchestras program highly encourages students to participate in their local school band or orchestra program. If a student attends a public or private school that has a band or orchestra program, then that student must register through that school for MTSBOA/TNMEA Mid-State and All State Honors Orchestra/Band auditions. Homeschool students and students that go to a school without a band or orchestra program may sign up for these events through Vanderbilt Youth Orchestras.
