| | Columbia Civic Orchestra: About CCO (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26) |
 | | For young, talented instrumentalists, CCO is a splendid adjunct to the school music program, an opportunity to meet repertoire that they would not meet elsewhere and to work with musicians of greater experience. |
 | | Parents are encouraged to bring their offspring to hear a rehearsal, with a view to joining the group when their technique is sufficiently developed. |
 | | While the balance between instruments must be maintained, membership in CCO is open to any instrumentalist who meets the technical standard of the orchestra; it is not restricted to any person because of color, age, gender, creed, national origin, or handicap. |
