East Ky Youth Symphony is a Go!
By way of introduction: the letter I have distributed.
Hi, I am jody hurt, an alumnus of the district 9 music program (prestonsburg high school). I have believed for some time that students in and around the district 9 area have far too few opportunities to perform in a full band / wind ensemble and to perform standard rep for these ensembles. I am creating a youth symphony band program the region to address this issue.
As a youth symphony, the group is open to anyone *Under* the age of 21; attendance of a district 9 school is *Not* required to participate (students of other districts are welcome). The ensemble will be (eventually, though it may not start out as) an auditioned group, much like a district honor band. Rehearsals will be twice a month, on the 2nd and 4th Sundays of the month, from 3 - 7pm, and we will perform 3-4 concerts per year. Ensemble members will participate in masterclasses for their instruments, sectionals led by professional musicians and educators, and clinics on various topics (auditioning, stage fright, etc).
The first rehearsal will be at Pike Central High School, on March 13 at 3pm in the band room. Further rehearsal information and performance dates / locations will be given at the first rehearsal.
If you would be interesting in participating, or would like more information on the youth symphony, please email me, Jody Hurt, at RiotGearMD@gmail.com . You can also find me on Facebook.
Thank you,
jody
