Rehearsal Schedule

YSDP Violins Performing

  • Due to construction at Naperville Central High School, rehearsals this 2011-2012 season will be held at Mill Street Elementary School, 1300 N. Mill St., Naperville, IL 60563. Use the South driveway and go to the back of the school. Enter door 25 on the east side of the building.

  • They are conducted on Monday evenings : 6:15PM for Preparatory Orchestra; 7:30PM for the Symphony Orchestra.

  • In this season, all rehearsals will be held in Monday evening without exception.

  • If you are unable to attend a rehearsal, please report your absence using the On-Line Absence Report System at your earliest convenience.

  • In some cases, you may not be able to report your absence before the scheduled rehearsal time. Even if it is too late for the rehearsal, a retroactive report is still necessary.

  • "No show" without any absence report will not look good on your record. Since the attendence report must be seen by Mr. Tham before each rehearsal session begins, it is important that the report be made by 5:00 pm. If you can't make the deadline, fill out the absence report after rehearsal is over.

  • Youth Symphony of DuPage strongly urges all members to participate in their school bands and orchestras. We thank the many school orchestra and band directors who encourage their students to advance their skills by joining YSDP.

Note: * Dates in denote tentative extra Symphony rehearsal from 7:00 pm. until 9:00 pm.
