The Saline Fiddlers are auditioning for new members, and have openings for violin, viola, cello, guitar, mandolin, percussion, and electric bass. The auditions are open to anyone currently in grades 8 through 11, and are open to students from all locations, even outside of Saline.
If you haven’t seen the Saline Fiddlers Philharmonic, they’ve long been considered America’s premier youth fiddle show band. They perform 30-40 shows in an average year, including some of the state’s best summer concert series. Every summer, the group takes a 7-10 day tour performing across the state, country, and sometimes internationally. Their music ranges across traditional fiddling styles, swing, jazz and even contemporary hits.

This is a great opportunity for young musicians who want to challenge themselves, learn new music, perform and travel, and make lifelong friends. Auditionees do not need to be expert musicians, as they will given support to learn and grow, but they do need to be dedicated to learning. Saline Fiddler graduates often say that joining the group was the best choice they ever made in high school, and many have gone on to have careers in teaching and/or preforming music.
Auditions are scheduled for March 13, 2022. Alternative dates can be made available, if needed.

Patchy rain nearby, with a high of 66 and low of 39 degrees. Sunny in the morning, thundery outbreaks in nearby for the afternoon, clear overnight.
Nice idea. Thank you to the kids who support this. Seems a bit of diversity in the make-up of the kids leading the group would go a long way to making "everyone" feel welcome. Sadly, not seeing it, at least in what is presented here.
Awful, racist perspective. There is nothing wrong with the "make-up" of these four kids.
Not saying there is anything wrong with those four kids. Really appreciate what they are doing and think it is great. Hardly find it racist to think having folks representative of other "groups" leading the group would go even further to making everyone feel welcome.
As we noticed the rapid deterioration and indentation of the road from all of this truck traffic, which presumably will only get worse as the weather and road surface gets warmer, we have wondered just who is responsible for the cost to repair/replace these roads?
Did anyone ask the nearby residents if they want a party palace in their neighborhood? Traffic, parking, crowds, trash, noise: was any of this considered when making this decision?
The organizers are required to submit an application to the City of Saline for this event. If you wish to provide input, comments can be sent to the City Clerk or made in person at anytime or more specifically when their application appears on the council agenda.
Providing input just like the data center had input given. When a decision is made around here, it has already been made.
