We will start our audience registration very soon! Watch for an audience registration email.

Naomi Miles has more Smith's gift cards to sell, as well as Kent's cards which work at Macey's and Lee's as well. They are in $50's and $100's. She will have them at the concert, but if you'd like them earlier, contact her directly. Her number is 435.553.9395.

Don't forget about the Attendance Form! If you are sick with anything, or quarantined, or have to miss. If the form is glitching on you, send an email or text me (435.740.4335). Although I prefer the form, I'd rather have the information.

Thanks so much! See you all tomorrow!

NUYS Announcements for tomorrow

Greetings!

Tomorrow's rehearsal will look like this: 

8:00 Doors Unlock - come help setup

8:20 Prepare for sectionals

8:30 Sectionals for 40 minutes- including splitting up the strings, and the Fanfare with the brass and percussion. Violin 1 - Entrance Hallway, Violin 2 - across from woodwinds, Viola - stage, Cello - gym, Bass - by the art class

9:15 Full Orchestra

Capriccio first, esp the 4th mvt

Announcements then 5 minute break

Meistersinger

Concerto about the last 30 minutes

11:00 Clean up

Thanks, y'all! The time of the concert may shift yet again, but probably only a half hour. Weber high band changed their concert date, so we only need to worry about our Chamber orch and their concert master playing with South Cache MS at 7! What a rollercoaster. 

Have a lovely day! See you tomorrow for our regular rehearsal time, and remember the drill about being sick, quarantined, or absent. Here is the link to the Attendance Form.

Announcements - Tomorrow's Early Rehearsal and Concert Schedule for May 17th

Greetings!

Reminder: Early rehearsal tomorrow -- 8 to 10 am

7:30 am doors unlock

8:00 Sectionals (half hour)

Brass and Woodwinds in their normal places

Percussion with Brass for all pieces, Fanfare rehearsal during sectional

Violin 1 on Stage

Violin 2 across from woodwinds

Viola in the entry hall

Cello in the gym

Bass by the art room

8:30 Full orchestra will look at spots in pieces in the following order

Capriccio Espagnol

Die Meistersinger

Wieniawski

9:55 Clean up
10:15 Doors lock

Schedule for the Concert Day (This is a change!)

In coordination with a couple schools who have conflicts on the day of our concert, and being proactive about other conflicts that might come up, we have  made the following plan for the May 17th Concert at Box Elder High School: 

3:00 pm, set up

3:30 pm, NUYS Short Sound-check Rehearsal

4:15 pm, NUYCO Short Sound-check Rehearsal

5:00 to 6:30 pm, Concert 

Hopefully this gives everyone enough lead time to participate fully. This should eliminate the conflicts that we know about (South Cache MS), and also take care of conflicts we don't know about. For those who do have a concert at 7 pm at WHS, you will be excused from the warm-up call time. That's a good thing! We neeeeed you as much as Mr W neeeeeds you!!!

One other note: 

The state-wide mask mandate is scheduled to expire April 10th. However, we will continue to follow the same guidelines we've already been using.

Thanks, everyone! You are wonderful! Thanks for making this our Miracle Year! 

See you tomorrow.... I hope you've enjoyed your spring break, or will be enjoying it soon, depending on your school schedule. If you are in town during any of this, please be sure to come to rehearsal.

And, as always, use the Attendance Form if you will be missing rehearsal... like if you are sick or have been quarantined (or get to go somewhere).

:)

Julie
