Regular NUYCO Rehearsal
Hi families! Hope you all had a fabulous Thanksgiving.
We're so excited to celebrate the holiday season with you! This year we will have a light brunch during the party. All food will be provided; however, we need your help in order to make this happen! We have a limited budget and are asking for cash donations from those that can help. All donations are welcome, big or small – the more we have donated, the more food we can provide for the kids. Please stop by the table at rehearsal and drop off your donation on either December 2nd or 9th.
We are also doing a candy gift exchange during the party. Please bring your wrapped candy ($3-5 value) to our party on December 16th. The candy can be one large item or several small items put together in one package. Have fun with it - the best ideas are always the things you'd like to receive. Wrap your gift as creatively and wacky as you can imagine. We can't wait to celebrate with you this year!
We have a normal rehearsal tomorrow, 10:30-12:00. As always, please fill out the Attendance Form (linked at the bottom of this email) if you will be absent.
Please read this info about our upcoming Holiday Party from Kathryn Bodrero and our Parent Council.

This applies for anyone on stage, including adults.
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. If you are bringing a lunch or snack, make sure it is in a backpack or lunchbox. All food must be consumed on the tiled portion of the hallway (or outside), and make sure you clean up after yourselves. Water bottles filled with water are okay, except during the concert.
- 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.
- Help with cleaning up after the concert.
Attached is a press release for the concert. Please send it to friends and family and invite them to attend!

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! :)
