What is DPops?

​The Davenport Pops Orchestra, affectionately known as DPops, is Yale’s only pops orchestra. DPops is entirely student run, featuring student conductors, student board, student arrangers, and student musicians.

Audition for DPops!

Want to join the best (and only) pops orchestra at Yale?

Auditions for Fall 2025 new members took place on September 1st-4th. If you’re still interested in joining the orchestra, stay on the lookout for possible spring auditions, or join us next fall!
