Adirondack Youth Orchestra & Choral Groups membership info for 2015-2016 school year

Hi Parents,
 
It’s that time of year again when we are getting ready for our fall season.  All of the rehearsals this year will be held at the Plattsburgh Senior High School (music rooms near the auditorium).  The first rehearsal/auditions will be held on Sunday, September 13th (the itinerary for the 13th is listed below).  
 
Please find the registration form for this year: http://www.ayoa.org/pdf/ayoregistrationform.pdf
There is an early registration discount for those of you that return the form prior to August 28th.  You can also bring the form with you to the first rehearsal or register the day of the rehearsal.  Copies of the NYSSMA solo sheets (if available) should be included with the registration form.  Your child should be ready with a short selection that they can play/sing on the 13th
 
Please feel free to spread the word about the groups and forward this e-mail to anyone that may be interested in participating in one of the groups.  Word of mouth is our best and most effective recruitment tool.  Feel free to contact any of the board members or conductors (their e-mail addresses should appear in the To: field of this e-mail) if you have any questions.  We are looking forward to the upcoming season.
 
Enjoy the remainder of the summer,
AYOA
