SEMYO is still accepting new students for the 2019-2020. Please contact Corey Henke to schedule an audition.
All students are required to audition every year to determine placement in one of three SEMYO ensembles. Because SEMYO offers ensembles for all levels of ability, the acceptance rate is very high.
