YOSA musicians and families are invited to join us for a special performance and Spurs game experience!
Musicians will rehearse at 4:00 PM at the Radius Center before traveling to the Frost Bank Center. YOSA Staff and musicians will enter the arena at 6:30 PM, and families may enter at 7:00 PM.
Just before the end of the first quarter (approximately 8:30 PM), musicians will meet with YOSA staff to prepare for their halftime performance. After the performance (around 9:15 PM), families will reunite with their musicians to enjoy the remainder of the game together.

Bring-a-Friend Rehearsal is an opportunity for select ensembles to share the YOSA experience with someone new. Musicians in YOSA Philharmonic, Symphony, Concertino, Mariachi, and Flute Choir are invited to bring a friend to rehearsal.
Rehearsals will take place during each ensemble’s regularly scheduled rehearsal time and location. Friends will participate in a rehearsal-style experience to get a feel for what YOSA is all about.
Please have your friend RSVP so we know to expect them.

Calendars
Report an Absence
Consistent attendance at rehearsals is crucial to the success and musical growth of YOSA. Any absence from an ensemble affects the ability of other musicians of the orchestra to fully prepare for the concert performance. For this reason, YOSA documents all rehearsal absences equally. There is no distinction between excused and unexcused absences. It is the musician’s responsibility to check in with the Student Experience team before the start of rehearsal to count themselves present.
Musicians are allowed two (2) absences from rehearsal during each concert cycle. A cycle is defined as the period of rehearsals leading up to each major concert.

Musician Handbook
The Musician Handbook contains the policies and procedures relating to all YOSA activities. The musicians of YOSA maintain a personal standard of conduct that is a credit to themselves, their parents, schools, and the communities they represent. Musicians are expected to contribute to the wholesome atmosphere of devoted work and serious performance that distinguishes this organization. Musicians are expected to participate in the music program (orchestral or band) at their school, if one is available.
