Do you have an extra musical instrument lying around that you no longer use?
Why not donate
it to SDYS?
We have an immediate need for flutes and trombones!
We are accepting wind and string instruments that will all be going to conservatory and community students that need them. You can drop them off Monday - Friday during regular business hours, or on the weekends during rehearsals.
For any questions regarding instrument donations please email

Balboa Park Sustainability Program
The Fleet has a need for empty 2-liter soda bottles, paper towel tubes, and wine corks for one of its educational programs. We can help in their sustainability efforts by not throwing out these items at home, and instead bringing them here!
Please bring these items to your SDYS rehearsals this weekend and next. We will have a box set out to take donated items.

Symphony Meets Science
Spend a wonderful evening exploring the relationship between music and the science of listening. All ages will be delighted by performers spanning jazz, classical, and percussion - from Bartok to Beethoven to Bjork. The Balboa Theatre will be filled with sounds of music from the Danny Green Trio and the Mainly Mozart Quartet, along with a multimedia presentation from three renowned hearing specialists: Dr. Kevin Franck who heads Harvard's Massachusetts Eye and Ear Department of Audiology, Neuroscientist Nina Kraus of BrainVolts at Northwestern University, and Audiologist Michael Santucci who runs Sensphonics Hearing Wellness. These compelling demonstrations will show how sound gets from the artist into the listener's ear to inspire.
This event will be preceded by a special pre-show Science Fair for all ages, from 6 to 7pm, including interactive displays created by hearing research postdocs/students in collaboration with ARO.
When: February 11, 2018 at 7pm
Where: Balboa Theater
