Rehearsal Rule

Rehearsal Rule: All three intensive rehearsals and the tutti rehearsal are mandatory for all the qualified performers to be the finalists, and there will be no excuse for the dress rehearsal.

Makeup/Alternative Rehearsals: If you have time conflicts with your school/community orchestra/choir concerts, exams, competitions, camps, workshops, family events, or any other engagements, you need to contact us to arrange a make-up rehearsal on other days or watch the recorded rehearsal videos (except the tutti and dress rehearsals).

Tutti Rehearsal (on the day before the concert): Upon the completion of the tutti rehearsal, a qualified/registered performer becomes a finalist. The finalist will receive a Disney Hall backstage pass upon attending and completing this tutti rehearsal. This is the only day when all groups gather together and run through the concert repertoire, just one day before the concert. Without a Disney Hall backstage pass, access to the artist entrance at Disney Hall will be denied.

Dress Rehearsal on the Concert Day: This day demands full attention and energy, with no room for excuses. Please ensure there are no conflicts with other events throughout the entire day (morning, afternoon, and evening; 10:30 AM – 10:30 PM). Plan to conserve your energy and avoid scheduling doctor’s appointments or attending other events such as recitals, competitions, festivals, camps, or SAT exams.

Notes: No excuses for the dress rehearsal.

LAYP Finalist

Q: Your website states “attending all the required rehearsals is mandatory for accepted student performers to qualify as finalists.”  What does “qualify as finalists” mean? 

A: The finalists mean the performers who completed all the required rehearsals. If you miss a rehearsal, you cannot be qualified as a finalist to perform at the concert hall. See Rehearsal Rule above.
