According to the Policies and Procedures for the Valley Symphony Orchestra (VSO), all musicians performing as substitutes with the orchestra must audition prior to the season during a regularly scheduled audition. This audition has the stated purpose of selecting those musicians who will be added to the orchestra's substitute list.
Substitute auditions for the VSO's 2012-13 Season will be held on Wednesday, September 5th, 2012 and Thursday, September 6th, 2012, at the UTPA Campus.
All musicians wishing to audition must contact the VSO's personnel manager, Scott Roeder: personnel@vsomusic.org.
All musicians are asked to prepare contrasting movements from a standard solo work for their instrument (no accompanist will be provided); orchestral excerpts for their instrument as provided by the orchestra; and sight reading. Required orchestral excerpts for each instrument are available at the links below and at the VSO Office at 200 South 10th Street (Neuhaus/Chase Bank Tower), Suite 104, McAllen, TX.
