NUYWE Rehearsal

Hi families!

Regular rehearsal on Saturday, 9:30-10:30. Please make it a priority to attend!

Retreat - October 26, 9 am - 4 pm, Brigham Academy Center
Concert - November 6, 7 pm, Bear River High School (sound check schedule coming soon)

I sent a lot of texts this week reminding about forms and payments, so please remember to take care of those ASAP!

We strongly encourage participation in the school orchestra and band programs. Students can't participate in All State or Solo and Ensemble without being in their school program, so it's an awesome experience!

Our grocery card fundraiser is ongoing. You can fill out this form and then use your card just like you would a gift card. Thanks for the support!

Remember to fill out the absence form if you'll be gone. But please, please, please come!

NUYCO Rehearsal tomorrow!

Hello families!

Priorities - medical forms and tuition. If you haven't submitted one or both of those, please do so tomorrow or communicate with me about your plans.

We have regular rehearsal tomorrow, 9:30-11. Looking forward to seeing you there!

Retreat - October 26, 9 am - 4 pm. This will be one of our only chances to rehearse our combined NUYCO and NUYWE concert piece together, so please make it a priority to attend!

We are selling Smith's and Kent's gift cards as a fundraiser for our programs. Fill out this form to let us know how many you would like and then pick them up at Saturday rehearsals. You can bring cash or check when you pick them up or we will have a QR code to pay with a credit card. The more gift cards we sell, the more money we get! And you're not out any money. It's money that you would normally spend at the grocery store.

See you on Saturday! Make sure to fill out the Absence Form below if you are going to be gone.

NUYWE tomorrow!

  Hi families!

Looking forward to rehearsal tomorrow. 9:30-10:30 at Promontory.

Retreat - I'm still missing responses from most of you. Please just respond to this email and let me know if your member will be attending Retreat on October 26 from 9 am to 4 pm at the Brigham Academy Center!

Concert - November 6 at 7 pm at Bear River High School. Sound check schedule coming soon.

Grocery Card fundraising
We are selling Smith's and Kent's gift cards. This fundraiser is super easy! You can choose to purchase a $50 or $100 gift card for either of these stores and we give you a gift card for the amount you spent (there is a small fee if you buy them with a credit card). For each gift card we sell we get a percentage. This money goes towards helping our general operation costs. Fill out this form to let us know how many you would like and then pick them up at Saturday rehearsals. You can bring cash or check when you pick them up or we will have a QR code to pay with a credit card. This fundraiser is ongoing and the form link will always be at the bottom of this email. The more gift cards we sell, the more money we get! And you're not out any money. It's money that you would normally spend at the grocery store.

See you tomorrow!

NUYWE Rehearsal, Parent Meeting

Hi families!

Rehearsal tomorrow, 9:30-10:30. Thanks for arriving early so we can start on time! Remember to practice at home. 

We have our Parent and Member Meeting at 11. Please, please, please come to that! So many questions will be answered and you'll get all the info for the retreat day camp in a month.

You'll have the best opportunity to pay tuition at the parent meeting, so come prepared with cash or check. We are also set up to pay online, which you can do at any point on our website. We'll have grocery cards there if you'd like to stock up - basically a gift card that donates a percentage to us. 

Anna Lyman's delicious butter braids fundraiser ends tomorrow. If you're interested, click this link. They're $18 each. 

See you tomorrow!
