The Side by Side Track Pyramid
Side by Side offers something for most people, but it is important that you choose the right track when you apply.
Here are tips on how to do that!
The track pyramid illustrates the age group and level for the tracks. It should be seen as a guide and not written in stone. If you're not sure which track to choose after looking through the repertoire, talking to your orchestra/choir director and reading through the track pages, contact sidebyside@gso.se and we will help you! This year's camp has seven orchestra tracks and five regular choir tracks. For participants who need special support, we offer the function track OPEN CHOIR (Swedish) and a special section for violin in the track BASIC ORCHESTRA called OPEN VIOLIN. NB! Choir/orchestra for BEGINNERS' rehearse and perform their concert together.
Which Track Should I Choose?
Use the track pyramid to get a quick overview of the age and level of the different tracks. It is important that you talk to your instrument teacher/choir conductor about the repertoire to decide which track is right for you. More detailed information and repertoire can be found on the respective track page.
The track guidance icons on the track pages also help identify the right track for you. Read more about those further down this page.
