Union Symphony Society, Inc. is a 501(c)(3) organization. Fund-raising (tax deductible) will begin at the onset of the fall season and is required of USYO members.

Members must commit to the USYO concert season schedule and music camp. Our music camp, all scheduled rehearsals and concerts are mandatory. Good attendance is strongly encouraged for the benefit of all students participating in USYO. If a student has an unavoidable conflict or in the case of illness, an excused absence must be reported by email to the USYO conductor. More than two excused absences will result in a review and possible reassignment of the student by the youth orchestra staff.

Rehearsals will take place on select Sunday afternoons from 2–5 PM at Sun Valley High School. Students may arrive at 1:30 PM for warm up. Students must be prepared to begin rehearsal by 1:50 PM. More than three tardies will result in a review of student commitment. Rehearsals will include sectionals and related activities as well as full orchestra interaction. Rehearsals will end promptly at 5 PM.
