Announcement for Week of January 12

• Hi everyone! We have a few announcements to share with you this evening!
• School Music Grant and Orchestrating Opportunities
  • Would you like to nominate your school band or orchestra program for a $1,000 grant? Schools can purchase music, instruments, or other classroom supplies with this grant offered by GTCYS.
  • The winner will be announced at Orchestrating Opportunities. Check your email or member page for details.
  • Speaking of Orchestrating Opportunities, don’t forget to sign up to play Jupiter!
• Ambassadors
  • Are you interested in sharing your love of GTCYS? Become an Ambassador!
  • As an Ambassador you will represent GTCYS at your school by giving a short, 5-10 minute presentation in your band or orchestra class.
  • It’s a great opportunity to build confidence and communication skills while helping other students learn about GTCYS concerts, auditions, and summer programs!
  • See your weekly email for more information and to sign up!
• Now we have two Get to Know You questions:
  • Turn to your partner or someone nearby and discuss:
  • What did you do for New Year celebrations? (pause, give your peers 1 minute to talk, then clap three times to get their attention)
  • Now turn to someone else and discuss:
  • What are you looking forward to this year? (pause, give your peers 1 minute to talk, then clap three times to get their attention)
• That’s all for now! Have a great rehearsal!
