DD did this her freshman year spring semester. Then one could do both semesters but she had a conflict with the group rehearsal in the fall. You had to do both the lessons and the performance group. I got the impression that given a basic level of proficiency (seemed like most Honors kids had been playing an instrument for years) the audition was more for placement (ex. first vs second chair).
At least for her group, it seemed that most of the members were music majors. While she enjoyed playing and wished that she could have done it for the whole year, it wasn’t as much “fun” as her various ensembles and orchestras in highschool.
I wouldn’t hesitate to call the music department. We meet with the professor in charge of her area during Delaworld and he was most helpful.
