LYS Extra Reminder

Extra Reminder!

This is Julie Gardner, Managing Director. If you have any questions, I can be reached at 435.723.8262 or GJulieKay@juno.com. You can always access past LYS Saturday Reports by clicking "weekly rehearsal report" on the Lincoln Youth Symphony website: http://lincolnyouthsymphony.googlepages.com

Remember to email me if you will be missing a rehearsal, and please be choosy about what constitutes a "good reason to miss." For the most part, everyone has been fantastic about letting me know!

 

Extra Rehearsal CANCELED

There will be NO REHEARSAL on Wednesday, November 28th, the week after Thanksgiving.

This was the "possible" extra rehearsal we were trying to add, but the conductors decided that there will be NO REHEARSAL on November 28th. Please Don't Come That Day.

 

No Rehearsal November 24th, Thanksgiving Weekend

 

Next Rehearsal December 1st, the Day of the Concert!

Rehearsal will be at ACYI; everyone (including winds) needs to be there at 8:00 am.

This Dress Rehearsal will be short. Please arrange for your rides to retrieve you by 9:30 or 10:00 am.

There will be no treats.  (But on December 8th, the treats will be provided by the Viola, Cello, and Bass sections.)

 

Concert Details

Our "Autumn / Christmas Concert" (Don't laugh) is December 1, call time (that's when you need to be there) 6:30 at BEHS. The concert starts at 7:00 pm.

We will sit in the audience and listen to LYCO play first, then reset the stage for LYS.

To defray the cost of renting the hall, we will be charging a nominal admission fee: $2 adults and $1 children age 2-11 or senior citizens. Thank you for your support in this matter.

This will be a fabulous concert showcasing motivated musicians in two exceptional orchestras. Invite your family and friends -- that auditorium is large, and we want to feel like we're playing for an audience!

And we'll see you Saturday December 1st for a Fabulous Dress Rehearsal!

Last Saturday

 

The Second Violins laid out a fabulous spread to rival the First Violins -- sticky sweet rolls, milk and all the fixin's. Thanks for doing such a fabulous job!

 

We are definitely ready to perform!

 

Remember to learn your notes so well that there is no need to rush. That, my friends, is the difference between amateurish orchestras and ones that don't sound so ... amateur! Practice those runs with regrouping and rhythms. It will help you find the trouble spots and we will sound even better at the concert.

Don't forget, we are still looking for a bassoon or two and a couple more horns. Keep talking to your friends!

Messiah

The Lake Bonneville Community Symphony continues to rehearse for the Messiah sing-in. The performance will be December 6th in the Box Elder Tabernacle. They have invited anyone in LYS who wants to play in the Messiah to come join them!  The schedule can be found at http://www.geocities.com/lakebonnsymph/.

 

Membership Fees

 

If you have not paid or made arrangements for your membership fees, I will begin contacting each of you on an individual basis after Thanksgiving.

 

Unallocated Membership Fee: We still have one fee that was paid in September and the last name on the check was Anderson; we are not sure who to credit that payment to. If it was you, we'd love to give you credit for it, so please let me know! Thanks. :)

 

Fundraising

 

I passed out the green flyers for grocery fundraisers at the rehearsal Nov 3rd. Please participate in this program. It is a painless way to raise money for the youth symphony. More information at http://lincolnyouthsymphony.googlepages.com. Click on "Fundraising" on the left sidebar.

 

Our Silent Auction and Gala Fundraising Dinner will be February 9th. If you are willing to help with this, please let me know.

 

And we'll see you Saturday December 1st for another fabulous rehearsal!

Dress Rehearsal

Last Saturday, I talked to everyone about adding this rehearsal on November 28th. We still haven't officially decided on this yet. Why? Because I need commitments from you. If you've already emailed me, I've made a note, but for the rest of you, II need to know, one way or the other, whether you can be there or not.

We don't want to waste anyone's time with a poorly attended rehearsal, and we want it to be worth everyone's effort.

The proposed time is 5:45 to 7:30 pm on Wednesday, November 28th, the week after Thanksgiving.

Please reply asap to this email and let me know either way.

Next Saturday

Rehearsal will be at ACYI; everyone (including winds) needs to be there at 8:00 am.

Amy Braithwaite will be coming between 9:45 and 10:00 to take our picture for the paper.

Treats: Second Violins. I think they even planned for someone to bring napkins... Now if I could just remember to bring a broom!

Last Saturday

 

The First Violins laid out a fabulous spread -- muffins, donuts, juice, milk, chocolate milk (I only saw the empty carton!). Thanks for doing such a fabulous job!

 

When we ran through the music, non-stop, wow!  It's really starting to sound great! 

Don't forget, we are still looking for a bassoon or two and a couple more horns. Keep talking to your friends!

Be sure you read about the Dress Rehearsal below. I need your response!

Next Saturday

Rehearsal will be back at ACYI; everyone (including winds) needs to be there at 8:00 am.

Treats: First Violins. They were planning food assignments last Saturday so this should be really fun!

Last Saturday

Thanks for working with us on the location. Everyone did a great job of showing up at the High School. John, James & I brought treats. It ended up being assorted crackers and pretzels. I'm sure the first violins will do better than that this week!

We had a split rehearsal for the first hour, then had the Winds join the Strings in the Band Room. It was a good rehearsal.

Keep practicing! It's time to turn this stuff into music, and it's getting really close!

Welcome New Musicians: Ryan Anderson on Trumpet, and Cameron Clark on Tuba. Fabulous to have you!

We are still looking for a bassoon or two and a couple more horns. Keep talking to your friends!

Honor Band

Congratulations! Keri Hunter, Tori Hunter, and Hope McConkie will be in the Tri-State Honor Band on Nov 30-Dec 1 in Logan. And the concert is in the afternoon, so they'll still be with us for our evening concert that day!

Upcoming Concert

Our "Autumn Concert" is December 1, call time 6:30 at BEHS. The concert starts at 7:00 pm.

We will sit in the audience and listen to LYCO play first, then reset the stage for LYS.

Dress Rehearsal

We would like to schedule the dress rehearsal for 5:45 to 7:30 on November 28th. It's a Wednesday, the week after Thanksgiving. We need to know exactly who can be there and who cannot. We must be out of the building by 7:30 pm.

Please reply to this email and let me know either way. We need to have a good idea of whether it's worth setting the rehearsal for that day. It's very important -- we don't want to waste anyone's time!
