UYPHIL AND UYSO: BRASS SECTIONALS IN ROOM 324 FROM 9:00-10:00
SMALL SECTIONALS NEXT WEEKEND 10/10 AND 10/11
- Winds/brass/percussion, please remember to check your schedules for next weekend. I know there’s a marching band competition that may affect some of you, so please let us know ASAP if you’ll be missing rehearsal that week.
TUITION INVOICES
- Parents, you should have received a tuition invoice by email. If you haven’t seen it, please let me know. Most of them are due on or before October 10.
NEW MEMBERS?
- If you have friends interested in UYS, bring them to rehearsal! We’re still looking for violas and a few brass players!

SMALL SECTIONALS FOR UYPHIL AND UYSO
Dates: October 10 for UYPhil and October 11 fro UYSO. That means we have AMAZING coaches for each instrument coming to work with your section on an individual basis.
WOODWINDS/BRASS/PERCUSSION, please check your schedules and let us know if you’ll be absent on October 10 or 11. We need to be respectful of our coaches’ time. It’s embarrassing if they show up and nobody is there for them to coach.

PRELUDE ORCHESTRA
Your first rehearsal is this Saturday! We will meet from 9:00-10:30 at the Fine Arts West building.
The address is 274 S. University Street. Enter through the east doors (facing University St), down the stairs. The room is what used to be the chapel on the right.
Dan Rich is our conductor and he will be there to meet you.
I (Marty) will join you for the parent meeting immediately after rehearsal. It shouldn’t last too long and is very informal!
