Hello!
I tried sending the message below yesterday, but it seems to have landed in my drafts!
MYSO activities are taking place as scheduled tonight, including Philhamonia rehearsal at 6:30 pm.
Families are always encouraged to evaluate traveling conditions in their area to determine whether or not you should make the drive to MYAC. I hope road conditions are okay for you tonight. See you soon, if so!

Hello, Philharamonia Musicians and Parents!
I hope you and your section had a great sectional rehearsal last week! This week will be our last rehearsal before we go on break for two weeks for the holidays.
I plan to spend time on all of our pieces at this week’s rehearsal; please continue practicing the sections that you need to bring up to performance level. The Swan Lake Suite has several spots that contain exposed sections that need our attention, and it will be important to move these exposed sections close to performance level soon so that we’re not playing “catch-up” in the final weeks of our winter cycle rehearsals.
Looking forward to working with you this week! See you soon!
