More about MYSfits

String musicians in Concert Orchestra or Symphony Orchestra are welcome to audition for available spots in MYSfits.
Musicians interested in joining MYSfits should speak with the MYSfits group manager.
New members are selected based on their musicianship and fit within the ensemble.
The audition consists of a practice session with the MYSfits. You will be sight reading.
MYSfits rehearse and perform all year (throughout the summer as well.)
During the school year, MYSfits generally rehearse at Beaumont Middle School, Saturday's from 8:00-9:45am according to the MYS calendar.
Summer rehearsals move to Marylhurst University and are generally prior to the MYS Summer Orchestra rehearsal from 5:30-6:45pm.
Musicians (and their parents) must have the willingness and ability to perform additional concerts throughout the year. Some will coincide with MYS concerts. Others will be outreach performances.
Commitment - we ask that members commit to MYSfits for a minimum of one calendar year. MYSfits maintains a significant repertoire, which takes time for musicians to learn.
Conducting - part of every practice includes the opportunity for a MYSfit member to conduct the group. This builds self and group confidence.
Attendance & Dress requirements are the same as MYS Orchestras.
