Auditions

Membership in the GFYO is by audition only. The audition process is intended to ensure new members are a good fit for the orchestra and to offer new musicians the chance to get acquainted with the artistic and administrative staff of the GFYO.

If you're thinking of auditioning, please review the membership policies below on this page so you know what is expected of all Youth Orchestra members.

Live auditions are held three times per year: September, December and May. Next round of auditions held Wednesday & Thursday, May 9 & 10. To schedule an audition call Lucas at the Symphony Office, 406-453-4102.

Once you schedule an audition appointment, download the audition form and the excerpt corresponding to your instrument (note: all excerpts are pdf files). Bring your completed audition form to the audition.  All auditions are held on stage at the Civic Center Mansfield Theater.

Audition requirements:

• excerpt (instrument's excerpt below)
• solo piece of your choice
• sightreading and scales (selected at the time of audition by the audition committee)
