REVIEW:
The Garden State Pops Youth Orchestra is an offshoot of the New Jersey-based Garden State Pops Orchestra. The site is predominately about the orchestra, and contains information about the orchestra's history, where they have toured to, information about auditioning. and upcoming tours, as well as RealAudio files with examples of their music. In addition, the site is linked to the Data Dragon Music Education database, which contains some good information on instruments, musical genres, reading music, and this day in music history. There is a set of MIDI files that could be useful for music appreciation.
