@aeromom Thanks for the link. This will help my D determine if she is at the right level. She did look at the audition page and thought it sounded reasonable. Its hard to judge because our school doesn’t have anywhere near the size music program that yours has. Our orchestra did win the “Gold” designation in our annual state competition last year and got to play at Symphony Hall in Boston (very cool experience) so they’re not bad, but its hard to know what is expected to play at the college level.

I did just take a peek at the video and the one thing that jumped out at me was that it was over an hour long. She has never done a performance for that long before. Our school concerts are shared between all the instrumental ensembles so typically each plays only 3 or 4 pieces.
