Welcome back to NUYCO rehearsals!

Hi families! I hope you all had a fabulous Christmas break. As great as the break always is, I'm looking forward to getting back to all of the normal things! 

1. Normal rehearsal this Saturday, January 6, 10:30-12. 

2. Concert - save the date for February 24. It will be at 3 pm at Ridgeline High School in Providence.  

3. PICTURE DAY! We took a very rushed photo on stage before our November concert. We had high hopes that it would match the other photos well ... and it does not. LOL. We need to take a new photo at Promontory School next Saturday, January 13. Please have all NUYCO members wear white on top, black on bottom, just like we do for a concert!

4. Holiday party feedback - please fill out this form with your NUYCO member to help our parent council know how to plan future parties!

Regular NUYCO Rehearsal

Hi families! Hope you all had a fabulous Thanksgiving.

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. 

*****

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!

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!
