Members In Training

ALL 9th & 10th Grade Belle spots have been taken.  We are NO LONGER accepting 9th or 10th graders at this time. 

New members are called Members In Training, or MITs.  MITs are individuals who have joined the Midland Symphony Guild and working to complete their first year of membership.

The Guild has developed a training year for MITs. In order to be eligible for Active membership, MITs shall be required to complete a training course within 12 months after their acceptance into the Guild. This training will focus on education and history of the Guild, the Symphony, and the Belle program. MITs will have different membership requirements than Active members and will not vote or hold office. During the training year MITs shall:

1. Attend at least three General meetings;

2. Pay all Guild financial obligations;

3. Fulfill an assigned placement on service project of the Guild, as requested;

4.  Attend at least one West Texas Symphony concert during the training year.

5. Donate $100 to West Texas Symphony OR Buy a Subscription and send confirmation of purchase to our email.

Your daughter will be able to enter the Belle program upon your successful completion of the MIT training year. In each of the following years, you will be required to fulfill the Active membership requirements.

Please note that due to an increase in participation and desire to join the Guild, the organization has had to place a membership limit on the Belle program. We will now accept 50 Belles per grade level.
