Help SDYS Go Green
Bring your own water bottle!
We throw away hundreds of single-use paper cups every weekend, which equates to over
14,000 cups every season
. Help us divert this waste by bringing your own reusable water bottle to rehearsal. If you do not have a water bottle, you can buy one at rehearsals for $5.
Have you lost your water bottle? Come by the office this weekend or ask a PA
String recycling!
We have a new string recycling program. Please feel free to bring any of your old violin, viola, cello, bass, or guitar strings to the office to recycle. After collection, the metal and nylon strings are separated by type and the metal is melted down and smelted into new metal alloys. The nylon is recycled into industrial plastic applications. Read more about it
here.

Name Plates during Rehearsals
Students, please remember to hang your name plate on the stand during every rehearsal. This is how we take attendance, so if your name plate isn't visible, you will be marked absent. If you lose your name plate, you can make one using scratch paper we provide. This procedure holds our students accountable for bringing the materials we provide them, which allows for our conductors and production assistants to get to know the students' names.
