There will be approximately 84 players; 22 first violins, 22 second violins, 16 violas, 14 cellos, and 10 basses.  Selection is based on the teacher recommendation and the review of the "paper audition" forms by the player selection committee.  Participation is reserved for 7th, 8th, and 9th graders only by the following system:

1.  Schools with an enrollment of 20 or more are asked, if possible, to send entry forms for a quintet- 1 First Violin, 1 Second Violin, 1 Viola, 1 Cello, 1 Bass - plus as many as 2 designated alternates.

2.  Schools with an enrollment of fewer than 20 are asked, if possible, to send entry forms for a trio- one cello or bass player and two violin or viola players - plus one designated alternate.

This group is not an "Honors Orchestra" in the purest sense of the word, but is intended as an opportunity for as many fine players as possible from as many schools as possible to create a "mountain top experience" that can inspire the participants to, in turn, inspire and encourage fellow students in their respective school orchestras.

The entry fee of $8.00 per student will be billed for students selected to the KASTA Jr. High State-Wide Orchestra.
