Wrapping-Up Winter Quarter

Tonight, March 8, is the last rehearsal of the quarter. Each ensemble has been working on new music and some have even collaborated with local composers and musicians. We look forward to seeing all their recording projects, which will be posted on YouTube when completed.

BYSO’s Spring Quarter begins March 22. Students will remain in their same ensemble. If your student wishes to switch ensembles, make sure to contact admin@byso.org by March 14.

Do you still need to pay tuition for fall or winter quarter?

If your student wants to change their ensemble, is interested in participating in more or less ensembles, or has decided to not participate at all this spring, email admin@byso.org by March 10th, so we have time to make those adjustments. Be sure to include the name and birthdate of your student in that email.

Tuition for spring quarter will be due by April 3, 2021. This year we are charging tuition quarterly, instead of yearly, to provide flexibility. Learn about financial assistance.
