Above a couple of notes, it says "UNIS." It's above two notes, an A note, with a line going up and down.

I don't get it. I have to play this piece by myself- it's for placing 1st and 2nd chairs in my Orchestra. (I'm in 8th grade.)
So, do I have to play anything extra, or just the A string

The first and second violin parts are separate lines ("voices")--thus the stems going both up and down. "Unis" (unison) means that both lines are playing the same notes at that section.

It's for "unison" -- if there are two parts going on the rest of the time, then on that note both parts play the same one. That's why both the upper and lower stems are on the same note.

I think it's for unison. Play the two notes at the same time.

That's weird, don't know why they wouldn't make it a harmony?
