[quote=Anonymous]Apply for all three. MCYO is hard to get into but it depends on the age and the instrument. Your best bet is to get in with a private instructor who works for MCYO or knows it well. Our MCYO instructor was a game-changer in terms of skill and progress. MCYO requires kids to be in the school orchestra but I agree it's not very challenging even if you get into the highest level in HS depending on the school. It's more social for my kid. Some kids love MCYO, and some struggle with it as it's super competitive and stressful if you don't handle that well. PVYO is not as competitive and much more relaxed so some like it better. Some families pick based off the location. Try out for all of them, then decide. For us, MCYO has been wonderful but I know other families who switched for a variety of reasons.[/quote]
