Middle & High School

Linda & Shearn Platt Open Rehearsals

The Linda & Shearn Platt Open Rehearsals are designed specifically for Middle and High School music programs. Open Rehearsals support music educators in their learning goals, encourage instrumental music in schools, and provide a direct connection between student musicians and professional musicians.

During a Linda & Shearn Platt Open Rehearsal for schools you can expect:

  • A welcome from a San Diego Symphony staff member
  • Seating for your entire class / school group
  • An announcement from the stage welcoming your school and students

Note: If you are looking for programming for your elementary school students, please visit our Elementary School page for detailed information on programs that are appropriate for that age group. Due to the nature of these rehearsals, we recommend this program for students in grades 6 – 12.

OPEN REHEARSAL REGISTRATION

Please note the following:

  • We ask that groups arrive at least 30 minutes prior to the start of the rehearsal.
  • Rehearsals will include a 20-minute break beginning approximately 60-90 minutes from the start of the rehearsal.
  • Photography is allowed, but visual and audio recording is prohibited.
  • This is a working rehearsal, so we ask that students remain quiet throughout and hold all applause until the break or end of the rehearsal.

For rehearsals at The Rady Shell at Jacobs Park:

  • A rehearsal may be cancelled day-of if there is inclement weather.
  • On very sunny days it is possible that the shade screen will be up in the morning. This is to protect the musicians' eyes. The shade screen will not affect sound but will block some views of the stage.
  • Groups are more than welcome to bring food and drink, and there are filtered water fountains available in Jacobs Park.

For rehearsals at Jacobs Music Center:

  • No food or beverages will be allowed inside the theater, however, you may plan to lunch onsite in our lobby spaces (space is limited)

Please see the Symphony's COVID Guidelines Page for updated information regarding the San Diego Symphony’s COVID-19 policies at The Rady Shell.
