Party Date -- Please Reply

Hello all ye wonderful people!

The 9th of May is the State Orchestra Festival, so it may pose a serious problem in regards to the original date for the party, for those who may be attending, and we want as many people as possible to come.

I have chosen a couple other options.

Please reply with "all options work for me" or tell me which ones do not work.

Thanks!

Option 1: Saturday, May 9th, 11am to 2pm (as originally announced)

Option 2: Saturday, May 9th, Evening (if you have limits, tell them to me)

Option 3: Friday, May 8th, Evening (again, if you have limits, tell them to me)

The following weekend is problematic, and the week after that is Memorial Day weekend, so that's out as well.

:) Julie

NUYS On My Mind

Greetings!

If you are not attending rehearsal tomorrow, and it's for a reason other than the ACT, please change your plans. This is our LAST FULL REHEARSAL before the concert. I need to know ahead of time whether you will be there or not, as usual.

If you are senior, please fire me back an email. I need to check my records and make sure no one falls through the cracks in my mind and paperwork!

If you are not playing in the concert, tell me NOW so I can adjust the program. 

If you are one of the people that has not attended rehearsals for this concert but still has music, either for this concert or from earlier in the year: If I have to schedule a pick-up at your house, you will be assessed $25. Get your folder to me before the concert! I live at 2800 S 1200 W, Perry, just around the corner from Promontory School. I have storm doors, so if I'm not home, you can leave it between the doors.

Thanks, all! You are amazing, wonderful, and phenomenal! It's been a great year. We need a party, but it can't be after the concert this time since it's a school night. I will have a date worked out by Thursday, and make sure you all know about it.

Press Release: Northern Utah Youth Symphony Season Finale Concert

The Northern Utah Youth Symphony and Chamber Orchestras are pleased to announce their Season Finale Concert, Thursday, April 23, 2015, at 7:00 pm in the Box Elder High School Auditorium, 380 S 600 W, Brigham City. This FREE concert will feature timeless classics, crowd-pleasing pops music, and Travis Seamons, a winner of this year's concerto competition, performing the Shostakovich Piano Concerto No. 2.

The Northern Utah Youth Chamber Orchestra, a strings training orchestra directed by Amanda Kippen, will open the concert with Meyer's Curse of the Rosin Eating Zombies from Outer Space, and arrangements of Billy Joe's Boulevard of Broken Dreams, Holst's Jupiter, and Offenbach's Orpheus in the Underworld.

The Northern Utah Youth Symphony, a full symphony orchestra directed by Conrad Dunn, will perform the first movement of Schubert's Unfinished Symphony, The Hoedown from Copland's Rodeo, and the first movement of the Shostakovich Piano Concerto No. 2 with Travis Seamons.

For the finale, the two orchestras will combine to perform Elfman's Selections from Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.

Travis Seamons has been playing the piano since he was eight years old. Music has always been his passion -- he is the NUYS principal Oboist -- but playing the piano is especially important to him. He has participated in Utah State University's (USU) Youth Conservatory for the past four years and is currently studying under Dr. Kevin Olson. Playing the piano has been a major part of Travis' life. Some of his awards include Superior ratings at State Solo and Ensemble and Honorable Mentions at USU's annual Piano Festival. He also performs frequently within the community.

When he isn't playing the piano, Travis loves science and math. Last fall he took first place in science at the Academic Olympiad held at USU. Following high school, Travis will serve an LDS mission in Budapest, Hungary. He will then study biomedical engineering at either USU or the University of Utah.
