Weekly Rehearsal AND Party! - NUYCO

Hello families!

REHEARSAL

Yes, rehearsal at 4:30 on Thursday. AND we're having a Halloween party! Everyone is welcome to wear their costumes as long as they don't interfere with playing instruments. :) We will play a game or two and eat some non-perishable, unopened food leftover from Retreat. You are welcome to bring food but we definitely don't need more! Haha!

We will have sectionals on Thursday. This means that if you/your NUYCO member will be gone, I *need* to know. Keep reading for sectional-specific practice spots!

Violin 2 - Strauss: m. 155-end (bowings, ritardandos). Corelli: transition from adagio to allegro. Brazilian: transition to the coda. Waltz: ritardandos.

Viola - Brazilian: m. 40 and 52 chromatics. Corelli: m. 8 rhythm. Strauss: m. 2-11. Waltz: chords at the very end.

CONCERT DETAILS

Ogden High School, November 12, starts at 7 pm

...... but ......

NUYCO sound check starts at 5:40 sharp, which means every NUYCO member needs to be in OHS, ready to go, instrument out and warmed up, by 5:30. Please arrive at 5:15.

Also, all members of all the groups (NUYS, NUYCO, NUYPS, and NUYWE) are expected to stay for the entire concert. It is good etiquette and important for all members to support all members.

See you on Thursday!

All Things NUYCO Retreat

Hello Families! Please read all of the following information about retreat!

Payment - you have two options for Retreat payments: pay online (linked, scroll down to the payment widget thing) or hand me the money on Friday. $35 for NUYCO members, $15 for chaperone (if sharing our food).

Schedule - drop off on Friday, October 7 at 5 pm; pick up on Saturday, October 8 at 4 pm

Directions to Camp Earley - it is a dirt road with pot holes. Drive carefully. :)

Packing List - use your common sense, haha. Normal camping/overnighter supplies plus close-toed shoes and mosquito spray. There are showers at the camp BUT we will not be using them! Modest pajamas are a MUST - we will all be sleeping in one room. Nothing tight, see-through, or otherwise inappropriate.

Check In and Out - there will be an adult posted by the lodge; all NUYCO members will be checked in and out by a parent. I want to know exactly who I have under my supervision! Please do not rush out of the camp, especially since we have so many new members who haven't been to the camp before. Be sure you talk to the Check In/Out adult before leaving.

Help with food - if you didn't sign up at the Parent Meeting and would like to contribute a dessert, salad, or snack, sign up on the doc!

Chaperone - if you didn't sign up to chaperone and would like to, we would LOVE to have you! Chaperones pay $15 for food, unless you want to bring your own meals and then you can come for free! Let me know if you're interested.

Carpool - I know Camp Earley is quite a drive for some of you. If you are interested in a carpool, let me know and I will set one up!

NUYCO email

Hello NUYCO!

Today would be a great time for you to send any payments for tuition and/or retreat with your NUYCO member! Or pay online if that is easier.

$140 membership

$35 retreat

$15 per adult chaperone (forgot to mention this at the parent meeting. This covers your food costs)

Thanks! See you at 4:30!

Parent Meeting info - please read

Hello families! Thank you for the *stellar* attendance at the parent meeting on Thursday. Maestro West and I really appreciate it!

This is a recap of the meeting. Even if you attended, please read this as it may remind you of actions you need to take. :)

1. Retreat! I will need help. If you have decided after the meeting that you would like to help or chaperone, please let me know! Please watch for more details.

2. Membership fee: $140

Retreat fee: $35

Please pay as soon as you can. Thanks for your support! You can pay cash or check, send it to rehearsal, and give it to me, or you can pay online for a small service fee.

3. You can volunteer with us!

** Join the board. If you are interested in expressing your opinion and offering your perspective in a monthly board meeting in person (north east Brigham City) or on Zoom on the 3rd Monday of each month at 5:30 pm, please send me a brief statement about yourself, any musical background, and why you want to serve.

** We would love someone with musical experience to put together our concert programs. Reach out if this is something you would enjoy.

** We also need photographers at concerts, set up and take down before and after concerts, party planning and set up, and many more!

4. You can support us in other ways!

** Buy grocery certificates. This is like a gift card to Kent's and Smith's (and any other Kroger or Food Club stores). This helps us out so much! If you are interested in using this simple fundraising solution, please call Naomi Miles at 435.723.7617.

** Join Smith's Rewards or Amazon Smile - also very simple! 

Smith's Community Rewards

• Sign in to www.smithsfoodanddrug.com with your rewards card. On the left side of the "My Account" page, click on Inspiring Donations. Click "Enroll Now" and type "Lake Bonneville Symphonic Society" or "NJ978". Click the button when our organization appears. 

Amazon Smile

• Sign in to smile.amazon.com with your Amazon account. When asked to select a charitable organization, type "Lake Bonneville Symphonic Society". Click "select" when the list comes up.

5. Sponsorship! Another way to support us with your money. :) This can be done by a business, individual, or family. The sponsorships pay for our performance venues, which cost us anywhere from $350 to $1000. Any amount, big or small, helps. If you are interested, send me an email! Or you can send a check directly to us: LBSS, P.O. Box 236, Brigham City, UT 84302

6. Remember to always fill out the attendance form if you will miss a rehearsal! It's linked at the bottom of every email.

7. The first concert is November 11 at 7 pm at Ogden High School. We will have a sound check before that, so plan on arriving after 4 ... final time to be decided.

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!
