More information about performing at OrchestraFest:

Each ensemble will be scheduled for a 45 minute performance and clinic. Groups should arrive no more than 15 minutes prior to their performance time to allow for set up and tuning needs. Ensembles may choose to perform as many, or as few pieces as they choose (most groups perform three selections, but it is up to you!). The remaining time is devoted to one of our guest clinicians working magic with your students. In addition to the live clinic, performance groups will receive a recording of taped comments by a second guest clinician.
