REHEARSALS

Summary

All five MYS orchestras rehearse at Macalester College in the Janet Wallace Fine Arts Center on Saturday mornings September through April. Rehearsals include regular sectionals with professional specialists in each instrument area. Music Theory classes are offered for all students, either during part of their regular rehearsal time (for String and Wind Orchestras) or as an optional course outside of rehearsal (for Philharmonic, Repertory, and Symphony Orchestras) at no additional fee.
