Camp
Each year near the beginning of the season, the OSYO holds a weekend camp experience in Lake Country. Filled with rehearsals, outdoor activities, group meals, and an overnight stay in shared cabins, it’s a great opportunity for students to reconnect with old friends and make new ones!
Socials
The OSYO typically gathers for a Holiday Party in December as well as in the summer after the final concert of the season. These celebrations offer the players a chance to socialize in a relaxed setting outside of the busy rehearsals and concerts.
Chamber Ensembles
At their own initiative and out of high motivation OSYO musicians form small groups that they play with in their free time. These are not part of the official OSYO program but sometimes arise from it. Ask the OSO Community Engagement Coordinator, your band teacher, or your local music school about performance opportunities!
Volunteering
Becoming a part of the OSYO team is not only beneficial for the smooth functioning of the Youth Orchestra, but it also provides a deeper connection to the organization, giving the opportunity to see what goes on “behind the scenes” and gaining valuable work and life experience.
