UNO BOCH Festival U.N.O. has a neat honor orchestra called the BOCH Festival that meets January 27/28. Auditions are due to the UNO website by Nov. 28.
- Audition Requirements:
- Solo/Etude: Students who auditioned for their respective all-state orchestra may submit those recordings. All others should play a standard etude or solo (2-3 minutes) that reflects the technical level of the student.
- Scales: In addition to the above, each instrument should play one major and one harmonic minor scale (at least 2 octaves, more if possible).
- Note: Select students (based on recorded BOCH audition) will be invited to audition for principal or section leader. Principal audition material will be made available on the BOCH Festival website once participant selections are made.
UNL Young Artist Award recognizes Nebraska high school juniors who are talented in art, music, dance, theater, or film and emerging media. Selected students and their families are invited to UNL for Red Letter Day in the spring to see what a career in the arts may be like. Applications are due to the website by Dec. 2.
Concerto Competition entries due Dec. 5: Auditions for performance with the Millard North Orchestra Concert on March 7, should be a well prepared movement from a standard concerto/aria for your instrument/voice. More information may be found here.
