Taking Part

Application form

Our audition process for 2011 has now opened. All information is available to view and download from our website.

Please read this information about the application process before filling in the form. It includes information about the NCO Orchestras, eligibility and bursaries as well as audition venues, dates and what to expect on your audition day. We recommend you also read our FAQs for parents and players.

You do not have to have taken any grade exams to join the NCO. To give you an idea of whether you are playing at a suitable level, we do have a list of the grades which our current members have or are working towards. This is only a guide and varies from year to year.

Once you have read the information and decided that the NCO sounds like something you want to be part of, all you need to do is download this application form, fill it in and send back to us with your audition fee.

Places for auditions are awarded on a first come first served basis, so we recommend you send your application in as soon as possible. If you have any problems downloading the form please email us.
