Welcome to the Irvine Unified School District
Middle School Honor Orchestra Webpage!

 

To the many middle school students who auditioned for the 2012 IUSD Middle School
Honor Orchestra:

You were one of the many fine musicians the Audition Committee had the opportunity to
hear this year.  The selection process was indeed difficult. Regardless of the results, we hope
you continue your high standards of excellence, and audition again when the opportunity presents
itself.

Sincerely,
                         
Brad Van Patten
Coordinator, Visual and Performing Arts

    • There is a suggested donation of $20 to help defray the costs for our Disneyland performance trip. Please bring a check made out to "IUSD" to the first rehearsal.
    • One purpose of the Honors Concert is to raise funds for the district music program, and we thank you for your continuing interest and support.  Every person who wants to attend the concert must purchase a ticket.  Prices will range from $20 - $45, with a small number of tickets available for $20.  Of course, students performing in the concert do not need to purchase a ticket.  On the evening of the concert, we anticipate a parking fee of $8.00.  There are limited free parking options in nearby lots.
