The concert halls were teaming with proud parents and community members, some of whom announced, this was their first classical concert experience.

Kudos to Jose Valencia, Tamara Dworetz and Paul Kim for a job well done.

Kudos to Guy Rumsey, Bedford High School, and Shelley Phillips, Martinsville High School, for their commitment to this collaboration.

The new board becomes active in August 2010. 

Want to meet a current board member and find out more?  Contact kristen@mayomusic.org.

If you can make the dates, perfect!  If you are a returning MAYO member can cannot make the audition, please send an email to kristen@mayomusic.org and we will count you in on next year's roster.

Seating auditions will take place in August.  We will also hold another round of new student auditions in August.  It's important to hear everyone - new and returning student --- so be sure to schedule a time.

We plan on doing on-site auditions in Morgan County again this year.
