New online Volunteer Log

New! This year we'll try using a Volunteer Log to keep track of the many hours that our families donate to support our orchestras.

You can use the online Volunteer Log (thank you to the parent who suggested this at the parent meeting!).

If you prefer, a physical log book will be available at rehearsals.

New online Absence Form

New! For the next few weeks we will experiment with an online Absence form.

First rehearsal is Tuesday, September 29

All three groups will rehearse at North Salem High School (map) at 6:30 pm. Enter from the D Street parking lot. Remember to arrive about 6:20 to be ready and warmed up when the rehearsal begins.

Members of Youth Symphony group only:

Please bring a music stand because North does not have enough for everyone. This group will rehearse on the stage. And bring the folder with music you received at Jump Start (if you attended Jump Start).

Parent meeting: also at 6:30, also at North Salem High School; in the Commons. You can turn in the forms that you'll receive soon in the mail, or bring them along to fill out during the meeting. We'll share information about the year, and you can ask questions.
