2018 SCSO Side-by-Side Student Recommendations The 2018 SCSO Side-by-Side invites music educators from around the region to recommend top string, wind, brass and percussion students from their high school orchestra, band and music programs. Recommendations are made on the basis of the teacher’s evaluation of their students’ ability to technically and musically meet the challenges of the two works that are to be rehearsed and performed. This year’s selections will be Giacomo Puccini's Act I Duet from Madama Butterfly and Sergei Rachmaninoff's Piano Concerto No. 3. Teachers who wish to obtain copies of parts of these works in order to ascertain work level of difficulty and to make a recommendation will be sent PDFs via email upon request. Students accepted into the event will be sent all parts via email as PDFs in order to prepare their respective parts fully prior to the event. Hard copies will be made available at the event. Available seats for the Side-by-Side Since the SCSO is currently a 80-member ensemble, we can only offer limited seats in each section and as follows: Violin I: 4 Violin II: 4 Viola: 3 Cello: 4 seats Double Bass: 2 seats Woodwind/Brass/harp: one seat in each instrument group (i.e. one flute, one oboe, etc) Percussion (excluding timpani): 2 seats How many students can a teacher recommend Since only a very limited number of students are accepted in each instrument group, teachers are asked to send no more than two (2) nominations in order to allow teachers from other schools and/or regions to be eligible to participate.
