Figured I would start out a thread… any fellow musicians applied this year?
bump
lol just seeing this now. I did apply. For violin. Honestly I was like “what the heck screw it” even though I know like 6-7 other people/violinists in my state who auditioned this year as well (3 already made it in last year) so I know my chances are like down to zero. Plus I screwed up one of my excerpts (literally did it last minute because of college apps lol). We’ll see in february LOL. Not expecting much
applied for piano
@alfawarlord and @fcm951 … has any one heard anything from NYSO… I just was wondering if the people that get “yes” emails on Feb. 5 already know they are in the running because they receive additional correspondence before then, or is Feb. 5 the first time anyone is contacted by NYSO?
NYO-USA releases decisions Feb 5. No, they don’t know beforehand. @gasenioryear
@fcm951 thanks for the info. How do you think you did? I know it is ultra-competitive but figured I would try anyway. I’m 16 and this was the first year I was eligible.
Me? I hate to be pessimistic haha but I have almost no chance because I know ten other people from my state that applied as Violin that are better than me, and I also screwed up one of my excerpts. (Mostly because I applied last minute cuz why the heck not?)
If I even get Alternate i would be so honored though. I wouldn’t be surprised if I didn’t get in though.
I applied to NYO too, for violin! 
The program seems really great! Yes my excerpts were rough too…the Bartok especially D:
@musicflow That’s the ONE excerpt that I tanked badly hahahaha
Haha, how’d y’all do?
@alfawarlord Didn’t get in, as I expected. My state has 11+ people I know of who got accepted though. Just shows how ridiculously good the people I had to compete with were haha
