SCYO 2021
The following is an update for SCYO
Sussex County Youth Orchestra Strings will begin this Spring 2021!
In an effort to get our wonderful orchestra back on track, Prep Orchestra will start rehearsals Saturday March 20th at 10:00 AM @ Shepherd of the Hills Lutheran Church on Woodport Road, Sparta, N.J.
The Rocking Strings Orchestra will also begin rehearsals on March 20th @ 11:15 AM@ Shepherd of the Hills Church. If you made the first two rehearsals last season, you received a folder. You must bring the folder with your music to the rehearsal, a music stand and pencil. All chair positions will remain the same for the time being. Everyone will be required to wear a mask. Temperatures will be taken, a contact sheet with emails and cell #’s will be kept. All rehearsal areas will be wiped down with a disinfectant before and after rehearsals. Mrs. T, Mr. T and Mr. Sepe have all had both vaccination shots. We are looking forward to get a chance to play music together and restart SCYO.
The “Youth Orchestra Strings” will begin after the Easter/Spring Break on Saturday April 10th @ 8:30 AM. All Youth Strings must bring their folders, wear a mask, and have their temperature taken and sign in with email and cell #. Rehearsals will continue for Youth Strings on Tuesday night April 13th at Christ Church in Newton @ 7:30 PM.
Winds will begin separately (at first) at the end of April/beginning of May. If need be, wind rehearsals will be outside. All wind players will be contacted separately.

Thank you and we hope to see you soon.
Sincerely yours,
Mr. and Mrs. Tedesco
2020 SCYO SENIOR MUSICIANS
A Very Special Year!
We are so proud of our graduating seniors! Some of these young musicians have been with us since the age of 6 years. All of them are talented, intelligent and dedicated to the Sussex County Youth Orchestras. The planned Spring Concert 2020 was to feature our concertmaster, Ryan Nguyen, and our principal cellist, Natalie Ableson. Gerald and Dawn Tedesco have led this outstanding group of seniors and shared their knowledge of music and life with them from home to around the world. In turn, these students shared their zest for life and their enthusiasm. Each of these 20 seniors will be missed. We wish them luck as they begin a new chapter in their lives.
