The Williamson County Youth Orchestra was honored with an invitation to perform at the Schermerhorn Symphony Center, the Laura Turner Concert Hall, during the Regions’ Free Day of Music on Oct 1, 2011. This was an amazing opportunity for WCYO Youth Orchestra students and there was some uncertainty as to whether or not the opportunity could be accepted or not. With the help of a grant from NISSAN of North America additional rehearsals were lined up along with a rehearsal venue … an exciting, YES!, but one which jumped started the WCYO concert season by adding 6 weeks worth of rehearsals prior to the official beginning of the season.
This is the first year that the WCYO has begun a concert season with a full orchestra. In the past the Youth Orchestra has performed as a string orchestra until band students joined them in November after the close of the marching band season. In the end it all came together beautifully with 66 high school musicians thrilled to be on stage at the Schermerhorn!
