*To all students interested in auditioning for the AUO, please note that we are limited to how many woodwinds we can accommodate for the AUO Symphony Orchestra (e.g., flute and clarinet). Those interested in percussion will be auditioned during rehearsal. Cello and bass players, you are asked to bring your own instruments or pursue renting one before arriving on campus. You are asked to store your own instruments as we do not have the space to store them ourselves.
