<p>Can anyone tell me how hard it is to get a seat? For example, if I made districts this year would it be really easy to get in (if my audition is about the same) or is it even harder than that? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.</p>
<p>Chamber and Symphonic are both by audition, Campus Orchestra is not. Many, but not all, members of audition ensembles are music majors or the sorts of people you knew from high school that made regionals and were in everything. As in all things musical, it will also just be the luck of who auditions and what chairs are open. Definitely practice up, but you always have enough of a chance to make it worth trying. You can always join Campus Orchestra, which is still fun to be in and gives you a place to play. It’s a little more casual and generally run by one of the conducting grad students.</p>
