Auditions
Newcomers must audition to get in and those that are already in the symphony do not need to audition yearly to stay in. CYS members can promote to higher levels. The CYS levels of advancement might be portrayed as follows:
CYS Flute Ensemble/Wind Prep I/Beginning Strings-->CYS Flute Ensemble/Wind Prep II/Intermediate Strings-->Associate Orchestra-->CYS Senior Orchestra
Non-Convergent (not part of the general promotion system): CYS Percussion Ensemble
CYS attracts some of the Bay Area's most talented young musicians, at all levels. It is a non-profit organization.
