NUYS: T-Shirt Form, Parent Meeting, etc

Greetings!

Parent Meeting

Reminder for the parent and general membership meeting tomorrow, 11:15 am in the gym and kiva at Promontory School. If you've seen this presentation before, come anyway! This year it will be different. I promise. It's no longer "death by Powerpoint"! :)

T-Shirts

We are collecting sizes and colors for t-shirts. All members of the orchestra get a t-shirt as part of their membership. Additional t-shirts ($10) and hoodies ($25) are available for family members and friends as well, but they all need to be ordered in one batch. 

Click here to choose your t-shirt size and color. We are still working on the design but will post it when it's ready. 

Regular Rehearsal (8:30 to 11:00 am), plus parent meeting, tomorrow. Front doors will be unlocked from 8 am to 12:30 pm. 

Have a great evening!

Saturday - Sectional info

As promised, here is the (better late than never) note about sectionals tomorrow.

Brass and Woodwinds will go to their normal places for the first hour (we will show you). Strings will start in the cafeteria for scales, a short discussion of what to work on, and then will also split up for their own sectionals. Places for said sectionals to be announced at that time.

Thanks for your patience!

NUYS Important Announcements

Greetings!

1. I can accept membership forms tomorrow - Acceptance, Release and Payment forms, Retreat Permission slips, and payments via check or cash. If you are planning to use a card, you'll have to wait until the 29th. But the more forms and payments we collect tomorrow, the easier our registration will be during the parent meeting next week. If you didn't get the packet with all the forms, click here for access to the digital copy, or ask me for one tomorrow! 

2. Mr Dunn will be largely absent from rehearsal tomorrow due to the funeral of his brother-in-law, which was not planned until today. Our guest conductor will be Dr Eric Blanchard. I think you will enjoy his style! He's a great musician. 

3. We will be opening tomorrow's rehearsal with one hour of sectionals. Locations will be posted on the outside door as you walk in tomorrow morning. 

4. Goals for tomorrow's sectionals: watch for another email tonight! The plan is to split up the strings for that first hour. If you are a principal string player, let me know asap if you are not available tomorrow. 

5. As a follow up to Monday's email, the parties in the accident in the parking lot have been able to communicate with each other. Honesty is a great thing!

6. Use the Attendance form below if you will be absent, arriving late, or leaving early. It streamlines setup to know who will not be there! For filling out the form, there is no deadline. If you wake up sick, you can still fill it out then.

See you tomorrow morning! Doors will open at 8 am, come join the setup party!

Thanks!

Accident in the Parking Lot

I received the following message from a student this morning.  Please reply to this email if you are the one needing to get in touch with this student. Your honesty is much appreciated! 

Thanks! -Julie

Last weekend in the symphony parking lot someone backed into the back of my car while I was in it. I waited for them to get out, because I couldn't park or I would have rocked back into their car, but they just sped off. I think the damage is minimal and I am planning on going to get it checked, but I would like to get this worked out "in house."

I know the license plate number and I don't want to make a big deal of it but I would like to have them pay for any damage.

Condolences to Mr Dunn and his family

Sending condolences to Mr Dunn and his family at this time. His father passed away on Sunday. I visited with him last night and he's hanging in there! 

The funeral is this Saturday.

And we will see you next Saturday, Sept 15, for our first rehearsal!

Here is a link to his father Basil Dunn's obituary. 

May the family be blessed at this time.

Provisional Acceptance & Other Info

Clarification:

All students who have been offered provisional acceptance have been notified via email, so if you didn't receive a separate email and were wondering about that, you are officially "in".

Also, if you happen to have missed it, or if you auditioned online, the packet that was handed out at the auditions is also available online at:

http://www.northernutahyouthsymphony.org/2018/08/auditions-2018.html

There are two forms to fill out, and a chunk of information.

First rehearsal is Sept 15, and the parent meeting is Sept 29th.

Thanks!

Audition Results

Greetings!

I hope I have sufficiently updated this email list so it goes to all the right people. Please let me know if you should be removed. 

New Concertmaster

Sarah Francis is a senior at Ogden High School. She is so excited for this new NUYS year to start. We couldn't be more pleased to introduce her as our 2018-19 concertmaster. 

The Roster - So Far

Recruit French Horns and Trombones! and Violas! (etc)

The roster is not yet in seating order. There are still a few auditions coming in, so we have chosen to leave it as is, and just sort it in alphabetical order by first name. There are a few provisional acceptances, but we have chosen to put them on the roster and contact them separately with any concerns. If you do not receive a separate communique from me, you are in the clear. *** This list was updated 9/17/2018 to reflect the current roster. ***
