What is ERHS?
The Eastern Region High School Festival is a concert that gives students the opportunity to rehearse and perform alongside some of the most skilled musicians in the Eastern Region for a culminating performance in January. Acceptance into this festival depends on a successful audition on a student's instrument/voice part at East Lyme High School on November 16th, 2024. This is a score-based audition, in which students must earn a certain minimum score to be accepted. The audition components for most instruments include: a solo/etude on the student's instrument along with a sight reading excerpt.
​
NOTE: Auditioning for ERHS is an option for students to take their ensemble course at the Honors level. Acceptance is not required to maintain Honors credit.
