Pasadena Youth Symphony Orchestra

Pasadena Youth Symphony Orchestra
The Pasadena Youth Symphony Orchestra has continually offered robust musical training and personal development for young musicians throughout the San Gabriel Valley for over 40 years (1972). 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. Members of PYSO have also had many opportunities for additional performances outside the full orchestra program such chamber music at Pasadena Symphony concerts and a special guest appearance on Fox’s TV sensation, Glee. PYSO falls under the auspices of the Pasadena Symphony Association and often interacts with Pasadena Symphony and POPS conductors, guest artists, musicians and staff.

This is just a friendly reminder:

What to bring to rehearsal:

1. Your instrument.
2. Folding music stand (all groups)
3. Pencil with an eraser.
4. Any other equipment for your instrument such as extra strings, rockstops, reeds, mutes, percussion mallets, rosin, valve oil, etc.

- Do not rely on your stand partner to bring the above items for you. If your stand partner is absent or arrives late, you must be prepared!

Also, if you have not returned your PYSO forms, included in your packet, please do so after the Musicians & Parent Meeting.
If you have already turned in you payment and forms, please disregard this message

Parents:
Please look inside the musicians’ music folder when they get home. There is additional important paper work which needs your attention and there is a letter that will need to be signed by their School Music Director and returned as soon as possible.

Any musician not at the first rehearsal can pick it up the music folder in person at the next rehearsal.

Sincerely,

Greg Fuentes PYSO Coordinator
