Saturday rehearsal

Hi families, see you on Saturday for rehearsal (10:30-12:00) and the Parent Meeting (11:15, will be as short as possible). NUYCO members won't be in the Parent Meeting. 

Please bring stands again.

The attendance form, if you will need to miss rehearsal, is available on the website and at the bottom of every email I send.

November 11 is our first concert! It will be at Bear River High School at 3 pm. Sound checks will begin at 12:45, which means NUYCO members will need to be there sometime around 1:30 or 2. 

Thank you! Text me if you have any questions!

Rehearsal recap

Hi families, what a fun rehearsal we had today! 

I know the first few rehearsals can be overwhelming, especially for the brand new members. That's okay. It's normal. :) If your NUYCO member has a private teacher, please ask the teacher to work on the music with your member! And if you don't have a private teacher and would like one (highly recommended), check out our Private Teacher List.

Stands - due to construction on the school, there is only one rack of stands available that will be split between Symphony and Chamber.  That is not nearly enough stands for us, so we are asking members to bring their own.  It's not ideal, but it is temporary.  We will reserve the stands at the school for the larger instruments (basses) and for those who do not have one available. The stands that came today worked out really well, so please keep bringing those!

Remind - I've invited the last remaining few of you to Remind, so you'll find a text that needs a response! Thanks for joining!

Upcoming Events:
Sept. 23rd - Parent Meeting, 11:15 am, @ Promontory. Please attend; lots of information will be shared. 
Oct. 6-7 - Overnight retreat at Camp Earley. We will be combining with the Wind Ensemble and as such, we will only be rehearsing our combined collaboration pieces (the Fireworks selections that your members have right now and another piece that will be handed out next week). It's very, very important that we have all of our members there! And it will be SO fun. 

Attendance: If your member must miss a rehearsal, please let me know by filling out the attendance form. It's linked here and at the bottom of EVERY email I send. 

As always, reach out if you have any questions or concerns! :)

NUYCO Update

Hello families! I have finally updated my email list for this season. If you received this and think it's a mistake, please reach out! Just a couple of quick things I wanted to cover...

Parent Meeting: Saturday, September 23; time TBA; Promontory School
Overnight Retreat (more info at Parent Meeting): Friday, October 6 - Saturday, October 7; Camp Earley

Keep recruiting your friends and neighbors! We currently stand at 31 members, which is AWESOME for the beginning of the season. However, we can totally use more. The Wind Ensemble and Youth Symphony are also recruiting!

See you on Saturday!
