Placement Auditions Due!
The deadline to submit placement auditions for 2026-2027 school year is this Sunday, March 29 at 11:59 PM. Please be sure to follow the directions on the audition packet. Details can be found at https://www.lassiterorchestra.org/auditions
Note: I have been informed that the district has severely decreased the data storage quota limits in MS Teams and this might impact how many students can submit videos. Should students have problems uploading a video to Teams, they can use the links below to submit.
If Teams is giving you problems, please use these Dropbox Links to submit your videos….
