I want this to appear on my college resume because my friend got into this and NYO and got accepted into Julliard and Stanford last year…
Point is, I just want to know how hard it is to get into NYO2 as I am auditioning as trumpet.
It is VERY Hard. My daughter who plays the french horn, tried out to NYO2 and NYO. She made neither. She is Principal in her local Youth Symphony… principal at her school… principal in districts… and has attended Tanglewood BUTI for the last 2 years for the wind ensemble. However, NYO has eluded her. I suggest trying out for some of the other ones too… Interlochen, Tanglewood BUTI, Aspen Music Festival… those 4 are the ones looked for on college applications.
