No audition is required for joining the Whidbey Island Orchestra. Members should be able to play their instrument, and read musical notation, at an intermediate level or above. If you are unsure about your ability please email our conductor, James Hinkley, at conductor@whidbeyorchestras.org .

Adult members pay dues ($35 per program). See Info for Members for details.

Students through high school are included 'on scholarship'. They do not pay fees, but are expected to contribute time and/or talent to further the orchestra's activities.

No one is excluded from participating in the Whidbey Island Orchestra because of inability to pay. Musicians for whom the tuition would preclude participation should contact a Board member or the conductor.

All members are expected to consistently attend rehearsals, to be in their seats ready to play at the scheduled rehearsal time, and to show good rehearsal attention.

Whidbey Island Orchestra is a volunteer organization. We ask all members to contribute time and/or talent along with their musical abilities. Some things you can do to help the orchestra are listed on the Info for Members page.
