Membership & Auditions

Congratulations New and Returning Members!

Congratulations New and Returning Members!

We had an AMAZING number of people attend our auditions!

Thanks to everyone who came and played for us. Not only are we encouraged by so many new members coming to us for the first time, were also blown away by the musical growth of our returning members. We are growing both in quantity and quality, and we’re excited to begin rehearsals!

If you weren't able to make it last week, don't worry, we are still welcoming new members!

We still have several important openings, particularly for viola, kontrabass, flute, oboe, bassoon, horn, trombone and tuba.

Of course, other instruments are welcome too! The more the merrier. If you or someone you know plays an orchestral instrument, we'd love to hear from you! Just contact Dr. Reese and we'll get the process started.

For new families, a walkthrough of the KMS registration process can be found here.

First Rehearsal will be 9. September 2024 at Landstuhl Sickingen Gymnasium!
