NUYS Announcements

Greetings!

Fall Break

There is no rehearsal over Fall Break. That's this Saturday, October 18th. We had such a great rehearsal last weekend, so ride the wave by continuing to practice!

Retreat

We will make up our missed rehearsal, and then some, at the retreat the following week. With a rehearsal on Friday evening and two more on Saturday, we will accomplish a lot, but will have a lot of fun, too! If you lost your retreat schedule, click here for another copy. There is a list of what to bring (and not to bring) included. Be sure to bring at least one music stand. 

The retreat is at Camp Utaba. Here is a link to the camp on Google maps.

Concert

Our first concert is November 22 at Bear River High School in Garland (near Tremonton). It will be a matinee performance, beginning at 3 pm. We will rehearse on stage 11 am to 1:15 pm, then make way for the Chamber Orchestra to rehearse for an hour or so before the concert. 

We have a parent organizing food for the break in between. Stay on the lookout for announcements about this. If you would like to volunteer to help, let me know.

The concert will be sponsored by Classical Strings. You may have noticed Grover Wilhelmsen when he came and played bass with us last Saturday. He is the owner of Classical Strings, our sponsor for this concert.

If there are any other announcements, I will send another email. 

So excited for the retreat! Let me know if you have questions.

:) Julie Gardner
