We're down to the wire. You have practiced hard for months now and are getting excited to finally show off these pieces to your family and friends. Be sure to invite your extended family, private teachers, school friends and school music teachers to our performance at 7:30 on December 7. Pasadena High School.
This week, in addition to practicing any spots that could use some polishing...be sure to play ALL of your pieces in a row ALL the way through without stopping. If you do this every day it will build up your endurance for the performance coming up. Also, you can experiment by practicing in a different room, or facing a different way. Try practicing outside if the weather is nice, or putting on a mini concert for your family or pets (or stuffed animals).
Bring two EXTRA things to our next rehearsal:
1) Folding Music Stand (We're practicing for part of the rehearsal on stage and won't have access to stands)
2) Wear a Crazy Hat to rehearsal for some rehearsal fun!

PYSO is considered among the best youth orchestras in the Southland. The PYSO is comprised of middle school students from grades six through nine. These committed young people receive advanced instruction and challenging music opportunities through a rigorous program that emphasizes ensemble playing. Members of the PYSO have performed throughout the world, including venues in Vienna, New York’s Carnegie Hall, the ASTA Conference and Competition in Santa Clara and many others. Last season, the PYSO appeared in concert with the United States Air Force Academy Band, Blue Steel at the United States Air Force Academy in Colorado Springs, CO.
