We know some of you have graduated and are moving on to bigger and better things soon, and we hope you will pass this information on, and encourage your talented friends to come participate. This is a no-audition, no-stress fun concert. Gear up for the new season!  Come Play for Peach Days!

 

This year, LYS will be combining with the Community Orchestra - with our LYS conductor (John Findlay) and their LBCS rehearsal time (Tues and Thurs evenings).

 

The music will be fun! We will be playing most or all of the following pieces:

Rehearsal Location: Adele C Young Intermediate School, 830 S Law Drive, Brigham City

Please Note: There will not be a rehearsal Thursday Sept 4 due to school & Peach Days scheduling conflicts, but we are confident that with good attendance at all 5 rehearsals and just a little practicing at home, we will be prepared for a superb performance on Sept 6.

Concert Date and Time: Saturday, Sept 6, 2:00 p.m.

 

Parade - Opinions and Volunteers Needed!

The Lake Bonneville Symphonic Society is planning to enter the Peach Days parade to spread the word about the Lincoln Youth Symphony, Lincoln Youth Chamber Orchestra, and Lake Bonneville Community Symphony. We need some participation: Either people willing to ride in the back of a truck and play music, or wave, throw candy, or hand out leaflets for the concert... We are not sure if we will perform live music for the parade and We need your feedback in our decision!

Auditions for 2008-2009 Season!

Auditions are scheduled for 8:30 to 11:00 am September 13, 2008 at Adele C Young Intermediate School 830 S Law Drive, Brigham City. All new and returning musicians must audition. Please refer to this link and scroll down for information on what to prepare for auditions: Audition Page.

 

Regular Saturday rehearsals from 8:30 to 11:00 am will begin the following week, Saturday, September 20.

So, let us know about playing for Peach Days, tell us your opinions about the Parade, and plan to audition on September 13.

LYS Final Report 2007-2008

Greetings!

My deepest apologies for sending this about 6 weeks late!  You have been on my mind, and on my "to do" list as well.

This is Julie Gardner, GJulieKay@gmail.com, 435-723-8262, and the website is here.

Congratulations on your fantastic concert May 1st. Thank you for all your time and effort. Thank you for your support of this wonderful organization!  It was a fantastic year, and next year will be even better. The Beethoven was tight. What more can I say?

Congratulations to John & Misa Findlay on the birth of their Twin Boys!
I think they were born on May 24th... Sorry I don't know more!  When I talked to John it was about MUSIC! How silly of me. Maybe he'll send a birth announcement & I can forward it. (John?)

People in the Dog House
Music: I received most of the music back after the last concert. The following people will be receiving a bill for their music if they do not turn it in: Cameron C, Tuba; Tim B, Violin I; McKell, Violin I; Nick H, Violin I; Sonee, Violin I; Heather M, Violin II. 

Lesson: It's easier to turn in music if you play in the concert!

Pictures from Abravanel Hall
If you ordered a photo from Abravanel Hall, I have distributed many of them.

Madison took pictures for the following Weber HS Students: Brent H, Michelle J, Brigham B, Rachael G. 

Cherie took pictures for the following Bear River HS Students: Sarah S, Shannon A. 

I still need to distribute photos to Nathan S & Ed K in Weber Co, and  McKell C, Miranda S, and Tori H in Brigham City (AmyLee, Linda H, Erik N & Rachel A already had them from rehearsal).

Please contact me if you should have received a photo and you didn't. Hopefully that wasn't too confusing!

Music Catalog
The Eagle Project for cataloging music was highly successful. Thanks to Josh for all your work!

Congratulations to our All-Star Concert Participants
Rachel A, Rhiannon J, Rachael G, Tori H, and Candace C played with the Utah Symphony on May 13th. I have not talked to all of them yet, but the reports I have had have been glowing. I wish they had a program for adults to play with the symphony.

Next year's Abravanel Hall Youth Symphony Festival will be Monday, March 2, 2009. Participating there qualifies LYS to nominate students to play in the All-Star Concert, which will be May 19, 2009.

Peach Days Concert
Peach Days rehearsals will kick off our 2008-2009 season. Like last year, this will be a no-audition-required outdoor pops concert -- a fun way to kick off the new season. We are inviting adults from the community symphony, as well as youth symphony and chamber orchestra students to come play with us. John Findlay will be conducting. This is the rehearsal schedule:
6:30-8:30 pm, ACYI, August 19, 21, 26, 28, September 2, 4. The concert is September 6 in the afternoon.

Parade Publicity
We are also looking for a few willing souls to participate in a flat-bed sort of way in the Peach Days parade to advertise for our concert and gain much-needed publicity for the symphonic society. If you are in a marching band playing in the parade, this will , of course, not be an option for you, but think it over if you are a string player. We are looking into a sound system.

Recruiting
We will be kicking off an aggressive recruiting program when school starts in August with recordings, DVD's, and posters. If you have a friend that may be interested in playing in LYS or LYCO, please forward their email to me. Thank you!

Next Year's Calendar
Next year's schedule will be out soon; we have many tentative dates, but we will wait and publish it when it's for sure.

LYS Saturday Report April 26th, 2008

Greetings!

We had an incredibly depressing rehearsal on Saturday!  I hope that all your efforts at State S & E paid off, and that you all had a wonderful day.

With only 11 people at rehearsal this last Saturday, it is imperative that you attend this Thursday's extra rehearsal. It starts at 4:45 at ACYI. It is NOT at the high school. We will have access to the band room after 4:30, so let's be on time and on task!  Cherie can always use help with percussion if your chair and stand is ready for you. We expect the rehearsal to last 1 1/2 hours.

The concert is Friday at Box Elder High School at 7:00 pm. Concert Black. Stay on stage afterwards for a photo.

Pictures from Abravanel Hall: If you ordered a photo from Abravanel Hall, be sure to see me. I have it for you. If you ordered one and you are not playing this concert, contact me for alternate delivery options.

The Eagle Project for cataloging music was highly successful. We are about halfway through. The computer lab is still set up, and Josh will be here Weds evening if anyone wants to come party with him (and catalog music too). We will also have it set up this Saturday, and hope to get a few more willing helpers since there is no rehearsal. Bring a pot luck treat, and hopefully it will be warmer in there this Saturday than it was last Saturday. The address is 2800 S 1200 W, Perry, UT 84302. Google it. You can come and go at any time and work for as long as you are available.

Attendance: If you have been to some but not all rehearsals for this concert, please come to the Thursday rehearsal anyway. If things aren't working out for you, we'll let you off from the concert, but we need you to at least try. This is especially important for Strings.

Well, this was a quickie, but hopefully it said everything we needed to say.

See you Thursday!

No, you did not miss my email last week. I just didn't send one. Sorry to have been so busy!

Our 8:30 rehearsal experiment is not working very well. This week, April 26th, rehearsal will start at 8:15. Be on time and on task...!  Fabulous.

The last few weeks we have learned that we do not like having the metronome hooked through the sound system (it's very loud... made my face twitch), and we have learned how we truly sound from the digital recording system John brought to rehearsal (well, we certainly improved between the first and second recordings, right?). We have much still to perfect, and can only do it with everyone there. Thanks to everyone who makes LYS a Saturday Morning priority!

Remember: Our LYS Dress Rehearsal will be May 1, 4:45 to 6:15 at ACYI. Fifth Grade Orchestra goes until 4:30, so be there waiting when they finish.

Music Inventory Project:
Adults, Students, Friends, Trustworthy Fellow Citizens Needed
Josh has been getting prepared to blitz the unknown music in the Golden Spike Cabinets as his Eagle Project. There are 8 computers networked in our garage, and the program he has created will support anyone with a web browser. The work party begins at Noon on Saturday April 26th, and the address is 2800 South 1200 West, Perry, UT 84302. Please RSVP so he knows how many helpers to expect: MellowCelloFellow@gmail.com ... Here's hoping everyone who's not involved in State Solo & Ensemble that day will be able to come help out and get to know each other better!

The end of the season is fast approaching:

April 26, Regular Rehearsal 8:30 - 11:00 a.m.

Dress Rehearsal Thursday May 1, 4:45 to 6:15, ACYI (Be sure to add this to your calendar)

Friday, May 2, Final Concert with LYCO, at BEHS 400 S & 600 W, 7:00 p.m. Call time 6:30.  Admission defrays the cost of the hall: $2 12 and up, $1 Seniors & Children.

Tuesday May 13, Utah Symphony All-Star Concert. Come to Salt Lake City and see Rachel A, Rachael G, Rhiannon J, Candace C, and Tori H play side-by-side with the Utah Symphony at Abravanel Hall... It could be you next year!


It is still extremely important for my serenity that the following people bring their music this Saturday:

Andrea M (we still miss you), Linda H (who will be back this Saturday)

I also still need music from Tim B (violin I) so if you see him... you know what to do! :)

Well, the list is so much shorter... That's wonderful!

Last Saturday, April 5th:

It is still extremely important for my serenity that the following people bring their music this Saturday:

Andrea M (we miss you), Sonee K (ditto), Jonathon H (you'll remember this time, right?), Sarah S (will send it with Cherie or Cam), Linda H

I also still need music from Tim B (violin I) and Brenna T (flute) so if you see them... you know what to do! :)

Well, the list is getting shorter... That's wonderful!

I will check out new music only to people who trade in the old music.

A reminder of what to turn in, etc.: You will keep Beethoven's 5th Symphony and Bach's Fugue in G Minor, and return Bacchanale, Hungarian Dance, Tchaikovsky's 4th, and some will also need to turn in Marcello and Mozart. Let's make it all run smoothly.

LYS Saturday Report March 29th, 2008

Greetings!

We voted on a rehearsal time change!  It was intense (well, as intense as it gets at Youth Symphony) and came right down to the wire, and we are grateful to the musician who came in and broke the tie (so I didn't have to!).

The Verdict: for the remainder of the year, we will be starting rehearsal at 8:30 and ending at 11:00. You need to arrive at least 10 minutes early so we can start on time, and if we start late, we will end late! We are also suspending "treats" for now, in an attempt to use our time more efficiently.

If you were not at rehearsal, be sure to scroll down. You're on the Music Recovery List, and I need you to be sure to bring your music this Saturday!

Remember: Our LYS Dress Rehearsal will be May 1, 4:45 to 6:15 at ACYI. Please add it to your calendar. We need everyone there!

Last Rehearsal March 29th:

Aside from voting on rehearsal times and eating grasshopper cookies (thanks, Rhiannon!), we traded in old music and checked out new music.

It is extremely important for my serenity that the following people bring their music this Saturday:

Andrea M, McKell C, Michelle J, Sonee K, Jonathon H, Sarah S, Madison S, Rachael G, Melissa G, Heley S, Linda H, Amylee W, and Shannon A. 

Wow!  Can you tell we had a lot of conflicts last Saturday?

I will check out new music only to people who trade in the old music.

You will keep Beethoven's 5th Symphony and Bach's Fugue in G Minor, and return Bacchanale, Hungarian Dance, Tchaikovsky's 4th, and some will also need to turn in Marcello and Mozart. Let's make it all run smoothly.

I really hate filing music when it comes in late! It ruins my serenity... (hint hint)

LYS Saturday & Abravanel Hall Report March 8th, 2008

Greetings!

Well, we have made it through yet another trip to Abravanel Hall. I hope you all enjoyed the experience of listening to the other orchestras. I'm sorry that I cut it so tight with Jana. She was a witness for the prosecution in a Mock Trial competition in Orem. It started 45 minutes late, and, as you may have noticed, we barely made it back to Salt Lake in time. She said the only reason she could even play was adrenaline!

I would also like to publicly thank Cindy Stocks and Irma Bennett for riding the bus and checking off the names and making sure we didn't leave anyone or lose anyone. There is no way we could have done this without them.  Thank you!

I also want you to know that I am honored to have been there with you. Thank you for your time and effort. Section leaders that willingly step up and take that leadership role are fabulous. Thanks to all who nailed their solos and made it a memorable day!

We also said goodbye to James (we will miss you!), but he is planning to come back and make a video of himself. Great idea, huh? Don't come on the 22nd of March, James. It's Spring Break and there's no rehearsal!

Oh, One Other Thing. Boy, do I feel sheepish!  Do you remember how I was looking for a missing music stand? Well.... my child who loaded them in the van and will remain nameless in this email, thought he loaded 6 stands, and I thought I counted 6 stands when we were at the dinner, but there were only ever five. He helped me so much that day, but he forgot how to count (and so did I for that matter)! So the missing stand has... been at my house the entire time!  Now you know why no one could find it! Just thought I'd clear up the mystery for you. Laugh if you want, or smirk and shake your head. I'm used to being the punch line of the joke. :)

LYS Saturday Report March 1st, 2008

Greetings!

Thanks for all your work and preparation for our concert. I have heard some fabulous comments and had great feedback. Any additional feedback or suggestions are welcome.

How did you feel about the lighting? I would love to do away with the spotlight and light the stage so we can see the conductor. That would be refreshing!

Anyone who has the article from the Standard Examiner, I would love a copy. Anyone in Tremonton, did the article appear in the Leader? If it did, could I have a copy of that too?

And ladies, thanks for making your legs Black!

There will be CD's and DVD's available for purchase. They will have goth the March 1 and the Abravanel Hall concerts on them. I will find out prices ASAP. Prepaid orders only, please. There is no deadline. Orders will be filled as they are received. I will give you more details Saturday or Monday.

I know Nathan S was asking about this. Click here.

Rehearsal will be normal time this Saturday, 8:00 a.m. for everyone.

Treats: Violas, Cellos, Bass! This will be James' last rehearsal, so let's make it good!
