03/19/12 Spring is here so it’s time once again for new-member recruiting for the Plymouth Community Youth Orchestra!  From April 9 – April 13, 3rd and 4th graders in the Plymouth elementary schools will be addressed during their music class, as well as 3rd through 8th grades at St. Michaels. At each presentation, a PCYO director will give a brief talk about string orchestral instruments; the PCYO members attending the presentation will perform a few songs; then all the students can come up and try each of the instruments. The Mishawaka Quinlan & Fabish music store will be providing violins, violas and cellos for the students to try at each school presentation.  Students of any grade and school are welcome to attend a Registration Night held on Wednesday, April 18 and Thursday, April 19 at 5:30pm in the Riverside band room. Quinlan & Fabish will also be on hand to offer instrument rentals.

The school visitation schedule is as follows: Monday, April 9 – Webster 3rd grade and St Michaels 3rd through 8th grades; Wednesday, April 11 – Webster 4th grade; Thursday, April 12 – Jefferson 3rd & 4th grades, and Menominee 3rd & 4th grades; Friday, April 13 – Washington 3rd & 4th grades,.
