Announcements and Audition Information

New Video

We have posted a supplemental video from the Audition Workshop. It's Eric Blanchard's breakout session and worth the 7 minutes - for string players too! Click here for the link.

Volunteer(s) Needed

This Saturday I need a parent (or parents) to be the hall monitor during auditions. You would be responsible for checking people in, handing out packets, and keeping things moving so I can be in the audition room. 

I have 7:20 am to noon covered, but would like someone else to cover 12:20 until 4 or 4:30 pm, (or) whenever auditions end. There will also be other adults in the hall. But I just need a person to smile, check people in, give them the packets, and encourage their efforts! 

The shift can also be split, so if you can only cover part of that, please let me know.

Audition Tips

• Address & Map Link: Promontory School, 1051 W 2700 S, Perry UT 84302
• Come 20-30 minutes before your assigned time.
• Sign in at the table so
  our volunteer 
  monitor knows you
  have arrived
  . 
  
• Take some time to go down the hall and warm up. Breathe. 
  Music stands will be available.
  
  
• Arrive outside the audition room 1 or 2 minutes before your time... Be on deck!
  
  
• We expect (with
  this
  year's
   time schedule) to run ON TIME
  - or even early
  ! 
  
• We usually have a few walk-ins, and with the more expanded time schedule, we should be able to work them in.
  
  

Link to schedule - You can still edit this

Can't remember for sure when you signed up? I won't be sending postcards this year, so double check the schedule and make changes as needed. If you are having trouble editing, just text or email me and I'll take care of it for you. Some people have adjusted their time, so there are a couple prime spots that have opened up again!

Audition Conflicts

We really appreciate as many people as possible making the time to audition this week! However, we recognize that there are conflicts, especially with people who didn't know about the date change. We encourage you to contact us, and submit an "uncut" audition recording (audio or video) as soon as possible. Please upload to YouTube and set the privacy so only those with a link can view it, and then share the link with us. Be sure you have filled out the membership form. You can indicate in the comments that you can't make it to auditions and that you are sending a video link. Be sure to follow all the instructions on the NUYS Auditions page to cover all aspects of your audition requirements.

Concerto Auditions

Concerto Auditions were held last Saturday. Our adjudicators were so impressed with everyone's audition. To quote one of them, "It is an honor and a pleasure to help with the auditions. Each time I have done so, it has restored my faith in our wonderful kids!" Congratulations to each performer! You are all amazing! 

Our concerto performers this year will be:

• Tyler Morgan, String Bass, Bottesini, Concerto No 2 in A Minor, 2nd Movement, November 2018 Concert
  
• Allison Cook, Flute, Quantz, Concerto in G Major, 1st Movement, February 2019 Concert
  
• Ambree Burggraaf, Harp, Dittersdorf, Concerto in A Major, 1st Movement, April 2019 Concert

OSBA Youth Guild

This is from Sarah Francis!

Have a look at this. It's a great service opportunity, and an amazing way to see some fabulous productions. 

Hey friends! 

     Some of you who are returning members of NUYS may know me; but to introduce myself in a different capacity, my name is Sarah Francis.  I play the violin and I am one of the presidents of the Ogden Symphony Ballet Youth Guild and the preconcert coordinator. 

     I have been a member of the OSBA Youth Guild for the last 4 years.  The OSBA Youth Guild is a wonderful opportunity to serve your community and see amazing concerts.  The OSBA youth guild members get free complimentary tickets to all the concerts this season.  This means you can go see the Utah Symphony and other groups (i.e. BYU Vocal Point, Noteworthy, and the ballroom dancers, etc.)  for free multiple times.  

     Being a part of the Youth Guild means that you get to usher at 5 concerts throughout the season.  Your family also gets discount tickets for the concerts as well.  We have amazing semiannual brunches featuring members from the Utah Symphony, also we have a super fun pool party coming up on August 25th!

     What you need to do is fill out a copy of the application on the website found here.  You must mail the application to the OSBA headquarters office or email a copy of it to either myself, Genette, or Angela and then mail your $35 to the office.  This all has to be done before August 25th!  (on the application under the line that says referred by, put my name: Sarah Francis.)  If you have questions about what the preconcert is email me or text me at 385-238-9676.

     I promise that you won't regret joining the Youth Guild!  It is such an amazing program and I am so excited to be a part of it this year!.  I hope to see all of you there!

Happy Practicing!

Sarah Francis

NUYS Audition Workshop Video Link

Here is the Audition Workshop Video Link

Read the timeline in the description under "show more"... It has links to the different times in the video in case you don't have time to watch the whole thing.

Thanks to everyone who performed! Just a note... It's a very amateur video. I find I can hear it better with earbuds, and I've added several captions and comments to the screen to help you along. 

You are all awesome. 

If you have a friend who wants to audition but is unavailable on the 25th of August, have them fill out the membership form, and add that info in the comments.

See you soon!

NUYS Auditions Page Updates

Greetings! 

I've had a few questions about finding examples of people playing the audition excerpts. So... I have updated the NUYS Auditions page on the website with a YouTube video and corresponding times to the specific excerpts. 

Thank you for continuing to ask questions. It helps me to know what I can do to help you.

For those of you who have asked about the audition workshop video: It's coming. I'm working on it.

Blessings to all!
