Sad News

Our super-dedicated principal trumpet player passed away Saturday, but I only found out today. Oh, how I will miss her positive and happy texts; even since she graduated, she has always kept in touch. Love to her family and friends. We have all been blessed having known her. -Julie Gardner

This is the message from Krystal Matheson's brother's page, plus information on services:

(Originally posted July 12)
The world seems to have shrunk just a little bit today. 
We lost one of the most intelligent, dedicated, talented, and smiley people I've ever known due to a tragic mental illness. My beloved sister, Krystal Matheson, had worlds of potential ahead of her, yet she felt overwhelmed by everything and sadly took her own life.
Fortunately, our family has been the recipient of some tremendous blessings. We have an amazing family and loving friends nearby. Also, we're grateful for the savior Jesus Christ who enables our family to be eternal. Finally, our mom Amy Cole Matheson is the best mother anyone could ever wish for, and one of the strongest women I know.
Thank you everyone who has shared your love and support for my family during this time of hardship.

Here is the information for those who desire to attend services:

Krystal's viewing will be this Thursday evening at Aaron's Mortuary from 6-8 pm (Adams Ave & 24th Street). The funeral will be this Friday the 18th at the church on 955 East 2850 North (the one by our house). Another viewing will be held at 9:30 am with the funeral service starting at 11:00 am.
All are welcome to attend.
Also, we are assembling a memory book about Krystal. If you would like to submit a memory (no matter how long or short), you can send it in a message to Eric, Amy, Zachary, Kjersti, Alexander, or myself. Pictures are also welcome.
Thanks again to everyone for your love and support! We have definitely felt your prayers on our behalf.

Concerto Auditions

Greetings!

We are pleased to announce a new Concerto Audition schedule. This will make it possible to include one concerto for each concert, depending on who auditions.

If you are interested in auditioning this year and were expecting auditions to be in November, please audition anyway, even though the audition is in August instead.

The Concerto Audition page on the website has been updated with all the new information. 

Deadlines, in a nutshell: 

Audition Sign-up: August 10 (reply to this email or call Julie 435.740.4335)

Auditions, time and location TBD: August 23

Please also note that students wanting to audition on a non-orchestral instrument are not required to be in the orchestra, but students auditioning on orchestral instruments need to be members of LYS/LYCO.

We are still working on the name-change.

Survey

Greetings! 

Each year we apply to George S & Dolores Dore Eccles Foundation for a grant. Part of this grant is feedback from our members and others who are involved with the organization. If you came to a concert, played in an orchestra, or participated in any way, you are eligible for (imaginary) chocolate for filling out this survey. 

Please take a few minutes to fill this out. You'll get a chance to answer questions about the name of the orchestra, what you liked best during the year, etc. And you'll help us with the grant writing!

Here is the link: https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/2YTMHLM

Thank you so much. If I could figure out how to get your computer to hand you chocolate, I would, but I'm just not up on the WonkaVision technology. :)

Music

Greetings, Great Musicians!

This is just a quick note after a wonderful season! Thanks for everyone's dedication and hard work. It was a great year. 

Be sure to let me know if you have a great idea for a new name for the orchestras.

And now, here is the list of people I still need music from. If you handed it to someone else (or to me!), please let me know who you handed it to and when, and if you might see one of the people on the list, please encourage them to get it turned in. You have no idea how grateful I am for your help in this matter! 

If you already told me what happened to your music, who you turned it in to, etc, please tell me again. Let's get it all turned in and taken care of so it can be filed and the tall piles in my dining room can be reduced! :)

(Names have been removed)

Music can be turned in to Mr Dunn, or Ms Dunn (please follow up and let me know if you do this), OR mailed to/dropped off at my home:

2800 S 1200 W

Perry UT 84302

This is just around the corner from Promontory School.

Please don't turn in music from your school or other groups! It's hard to return to the right people.

Thanks!

Julie Gardner

Food!

Don't forget to bring food for the party! What's a party without food?

See you soon.

Music!

Please be prepared to turn in music after the concert.

This means if you have some from other concerts, other years, other dimensions, and if it has anything to do with LYS, put it in your folder and turn it in this Saturday. 

If, however, it has nothing to do with LYS, but it has something to do with your personal music stash, or it has something to do with your school, or if you have a certificate from something in your folder, please take these types of items out of the folder before you turn it in. 

:)

Thank you so much!

Julie

Schedule for Saturday April 19

Greetings!

So excited for this final concert! Everyone has worked so hard, and I think we are in for a Brahms miracle. Keep doing your part to make the miracle happen, and let's make amazing music this Saturday. Please contact me asap if you are for some reason not playing in the concert. I like the program to be accurate! 

All the festivities this Saturday are at or very near Bear River High School, in the Tremonton/Garland area. This is an historic concert. I don't believe LYS has ever performed at BRHS before. If you'd like to see the exact door you will need to enter for the auditorium, click here for a google map link. 

Here is a very close approximation of what will be happening, and when. This is subject to change, but please just be there and bring your instrument, concert attire, and your food assignment for the party and all will be amazing! (Flier with said food assignments for party will be coming with a separate email).

12 noon -- Doors open; early birds arrive and begin set-up (that's my call time, and whoever else wants to come help!)
