Welcome to the New NUYCO Season!

Hello families!

In case I missed anyone before... you are accepted to NUYCO! Can't wait to have you join us. We have a great concert season planned - even playing some Christmas music! Nothing better than Christmas in September, right? :)

Our first rehearsal is THIS Thursday, September 15, 4:30-6 pm at Promontory School in Perry. We will be rehearsing in the gym because with our large numbers this year, we literally cannot fit into the library where we have previously rehearsed. What a wonderful problem to have! When you enter through the big doors on the north side of the school, walk down the hallway, turn right, and the gym doors will be open on your left. 

Remember our Parent Meeting is on September 22 at 6 pm. It will be very short (done by 6:30) and is a very important meeting to attend (especially if you are a new family joining us this year). Please make it a priority to come. If you cannot attend, please let me know! Many questions will be answered at this meeting and it's the easiest time to pay tuition!

RETREAT (one of the best times all year) is October 7-8 at Camp Earley. You will bring your child(ren) to the camp (located between Tremonton and Logan in the foothills) at 5 pm on Friday and pick them up at 4 pm on Saturday (if I'm remembering right - make sure you come to the Parent Meeting so you can be sure!). It is so fun - full of games, food, fun, and rehearsals - so please help your child(ren) attend!

You and your child(ren) may enjoy reading about the adult specialists who will be helping out this year. We are blessed to have so much talent within our organization! Find the staff bios here.

Alrighty, I think that wraps it up for this week. Thanks for creating a habit of reading my emails. I try not to put in too much extra info. :)

See you on Thursday! Can't wait!

Hello families!

It is hard to believe that auditions are this month, but we are so excited to get back into things and see all of you again. Everyone interested in joining NUYCO, NUYS, NUYPS, or NUYWE must audition so we can determine seating. 

RECRUITMENT
Please share about us with your friends and family! Let's make this the best year ever. You could... 
* share on social media (include the attached image)
* email
* text
* word of mouth
Members and families are the best recruiting tool we have. And remember, we're now interested in having beginning string players and winds and brass join us!

CALENDAR
August 27: In-person auditions (Promontory School)
September 15: Rehearsals start (Promontory School)
October 7-8: Retreat (Camp Earley)

TIME CHANGE
Remember, NUYCO rehearsals have changed to Thursdays 4:30-6:00 pm.

AUDITION INFORMATION
Click here for audition information. We currently only have *eight* members in NUYCO ... so we are eagerly awaiting about 35 of you to submit auditions and membership forms!

TREASURE HUNT
And now for a fun game...

Jayme (NUYS manager) and I have spent a lot of time putting recruitment posters up on community boards in Cache, Box Elder, and Weber counties. Think Smith's, Kent's, recreation centers, libraries, etc. 

If you see one of our posters, take a selfie with it (be sure to show your beautiful smiling face)! Post on social media or email/text it to me! To make it easier to post online, follow us on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter!

Everyone who shares a selfie will receive a sweet treat at rehearsal in September. And whoever has the most selfies may receive a bigger reward...

If you find a community board where there is not a poster, please let me know! Have fun with this. :)

Thanks!

Fwd: NUYCO: Long Awaited Audition Info!

NUYCO families (current, past, and prospective),

I hope you all have had a wonderful summer so far! I've missed spending rehearsals together and can't wait to get started again. There have been some exciting changes happening with NUYCO:

1. We have a brand new website! Same domain, different site. Check it out: www.northernutahyouthsymphony.org

2. We are excited to announce two new groups joining us this next season:
- The Wind Ensemble, under the direction of the NUYS brass specialist, Abigail Erickson. This group is geared for winds, brass, and percussion students in middle school with at least 2 years of playing experience. This will be like NUYCO but with the "band" instruments, and we are excited to offer some collaboration opportunities in the future. More info about NUYWE can be found here.

- The Preparatory Strings, under the direction of Elizabeth Marsh (mother of three of our NUYCO members last year). This group will be for younger string students who have had at least one year of playing experience. More info about NUYPS can be found here.


2022 - 2023 Season:
In-person auditions are scheduled for August 27th. You can also submit an online video audition if you can't make it. Click here for audition information.

Audition requirements haven't changed. Whether you do a video or come in person, you need to be prepared with a major scale, a minor scale, 60 seconds of a prepared solo, and the audition excerpt for your instrument found at the link above.

Maestro and I want this season to have the largest enrollment we have ever had! We need your help to make this happen. Please pass along this information to your family and friends. I've attached our new season poster that you can share on social media. Let's make this happen!

Please don't hesitate to reach out if you have any questions. Don't forget to sign up for auditions!

Enjoy the rest of your summer!

Fwd: NUYCO - Time Change - Please read

NUYCO families,

Maestro let me know I forgot an important announcement in the last email! As he frequently says in rehearsal, that is the first mistake I have ever made ... :)

NUYCO rehearsals have been moved to Thursday afternoons, 4:30-6 pm. Maestro, myself, and the Board of Directors really labored over this decision and tried to take all things into consideration. We hope you will be able to make the new time work! 

We know that gas is expensive right now and if you have children who are in NUYS, you may not be interested in making a trip to Perry twice a week. We understand. Please reach out! I am so happy to set up carpool arrangements or offer another way for you to be involved. 

Thanks again!
