NJMEA All-State Orchestra

The All-State Orchestras and Intermediate Orchestra in NJ consist of the highest-performing high school and middle/junior high school musicians, respectively. In March, string auditions are held for the All-State Orchestra, while auditions for the Winds/Brass/Percussion/Piano/Harp are based on their All-State Band auditions. Eligible students who have participated in their corresponding regional ensembles can audition, and those who are accepted can perform in November at Boardwalk Hall in Atlantic City and NJPAC in Newark.

For the All-State Intermediate Orchestra, auditions are also held every March for students who have participated in their corresponding regional ensemble, and the performance is in May. This orchestra is made up of the top middle/junior high school string players in NJ.
