Help SDYS Go Green
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.

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.
