Rehearsal and Christmas Party

Hi families!

We have regular rehearsal (9:30-10:30) on Saturday, followed by our Christmas Party until 11:30. Remember to bring a $5 candy (or other treat) wrapped in a disguise (i.e., a box of candy disguised as a guitar, or a package of microwave popcorn wrapped like an old fashioned candy). 

Upcoming Dates
No Rehearsal-12/21 and 12/28 for Christmas Break
Christmas Party-Dec 14th, immediately after rehearsal
NUYCO and NUYWE Recital Night - Jan 25th, 6:00pm, Box Elder Tabernacle
Mid-Season Concert-Feb 15th, 3:00pm, Bear River High School
Season Finale-April 19th, 3:00pm, Mount Logan Middle School

We are looking for donations for our Christmas party. You can bring in cash to rehearsals and get it to Kathryn or you can donate online. There is a link available on the flier above to donate. Bring a small candy($5 or less) wrapped for a fun gift exchange.

NUYCO and NUYWE Recital Night
Our annual recital night will be held on January 25th at 6:00 pm at the Box Elder Tabernacle. This is a great opportunity to perform pieces you have been working on, whether on your NUYE instrument or something else you are proficient with. The more you perform, the easier it gets! Let me know if you are interested in performing that evening.

Grocery Card fundraising
We are selling Smith's and Kent's gift cards. This fundraiser is super easy! You can choose to purchase a $50 or $100 gift card for either of these stores and we give you a gift card for the amount you spent(there is a small fee if you buy them with a credit card). For each gift card we sell we get a percentage. This money goes towards helping our general operation costs. Fill out this form to let us know how many you would like and then pick them up at Saturday rehearsals. You can bring cash or check when you pick them up or we will have a QR code to pay with a credit card. This fundraiser is ongoing and the form link will always be at the bottom of this email. The more gift cards we sell, the more money we get! And you're not out any money. It's money that you would normally spend at the grocery store.

Hi families!

We look forward to seeing all of you at rehearsal tomorrow! In the past we have accommodated rehearsals for LDS General Conference but are not doing that this year. We will have normal rehearsal, 10:30-12. If your member will be absent for any part of that, remember to fill out the attendance form (on our website and linked at the bottom of this email). 

Remember to turn in your permission slip and payment for Tour! Can't wait!

lost coat at rehearsal

We found a coat in the parking lot. It's size small, Gerry brand, has a detachable hood. It was found near the handicapped parking stalls in the front of the parking lot. If you can tell me the color, I will get it back to you!

If even one member is absent, it throws everyone off. We expect you to attend. However, we understand things happen and you can't always attend. That's okay! Please, please, just fill out the Absence Form, whether it's two days or two minutes before!

Concert Tomorrow!

It's time for our mid-season concert! I'm so excited to hear it. They are sounding wonderful during rehearsal!

Concert Date-February 24th.
Location: Ridgeline High School-180 N 300 W, Millville Ut
Pull into the parking lot on the north side of the school. It says auditorium over the doors. The auditorium is to the right when you enter. We are meeting in the orchestra room. If you are facing the auditorium entrance go down the hall on the left side to find the orchestra room. I will be out in the lobby to direct you :)
Call Time-12:30
Sound Check-12:45-1:15
Concert-3:00

No music or folders will be handed in tomorrow. Keep everything - because now you have your last concert's music! Practice!

We need some help with cleanup once the concert is finished. It shouldn't take more than a few minutes. Let me know if you can stick around to pick up the chairs and stands.

Concert Expectations
-Be early to everything!
- Please be courteous when unpacking. Leaving items in front of doors is a major hazard. The last thing we want is someone hurt or an instrument damaged because they had to step over your stuff. Keep all doors to the room clear.
-Do not touch any equipment in the orchestra room or back stage. If you use a chair or stand in the orchestra room, please put it back.
-Absolutely no food or drink in the orchestra room or auditorium.
-Please do not wander the school. During your down time you are welcome to stay in the orchestra room, quietly sit in the auditorium, sit in the hallway, or enjoy the outdoors if it's not too cold.
- Everyone is expected to be in the auditorium during the concert supporting our amazing Wind Ensemble and Symphony groups. NUYCO members can put their instruments away after performing and then sit with their families.  

Concert Attire
Gentelmen: white shirt, non-distracting tie, black pants, black socks, black shoes

Ladies: white shirt, black pants/skirt, black socks, black shoes

I think that's everything. I'll see you tomorrow!

NUYCO Cafe Rio Fundraiser

We are excited to be doing a fundraiser with Cafe Rio! Here is the info:

Date: Feb 22nd (dress rehearsal day)
Time: 11am-9pm
Location: Cafe Rio Brigham City, 1128 S 450 W

How it works: Attached to this email is a voucher. Present this voucher when you check out and 20% of your order goes towards NUYE. Simple as that! You can either print this voucher off or show them a digital copy of the voucher for the money to go towards NUYE. You MUST show the voucher before you checkout. It can be used for dining in or take out. The more fliers that are brought in, the more money we make! You can share the flier with grandparents, aunts, uncles, friends, and neighbors! We will hand out a paper copy of the voucher at rehearsal on the 17th.

We have scheduled this event so it coincides with our dress rehearsal. Go out with your family before or after rehearsal! :)

Let me know if you have any questions!

Welcome back to NUYCO rehearsals!

Hi families! I hope you all had a fabulous Christmas break. As great as the break always is, I'm looking forward to getting back to all of the normal things! 

1. Normal rehearsal this Saturday, January 6, 10:30-12. 

2. Concert - save the date for February 24. It will be at 3 pm at Ridgeline High School in Providence.  

3. PICTURE DAY! We took a very rushed photo on stage before our November concert. We had high hopes that it would match the other photos well ... and it does not. LOL. We need to take a new photo at Promontory School next Saturday, January 13. Please have all NUYCO members wear white on top, black on bottom, just like we do for a concert!

4. Holiday party feedback - please fill out this form with your NUYCO member to help our parent council know how to plan future parties!
