Orchestre Symphoniques du Quebec held in Sherbrooke. There, the OAV (Orchestre à Vent, which stands for wind orchestra in french, and is the highest level ensemble of the school) plays different pieces (usually one warm-up piece and two competition pieces) and they are graded according to the orchestra's level. Musicians can also participate in the Concours Solistes et Petits Ensembles from the FHOSQ (Fédération des Harmonies et des Orchestres Symphoniques du Québec) in Victoriaville. If they achieve a greater distinction mark, they win a prize, usually a certain amount of money for a specific music summer camp.
