The Sioux Empire Youth Orchestras is an organization that has grown significantly in the past few years. SEYO is comprised of dedicated orchestra students from all over the Sioux Empire who wish to expand their musical horizons by rehearsing and performing a variety of challenging music with peers who have a common interest in orchestral music.
All students ages 6-22 are welcome to join. By audition, or conductor approval, students are placed in the SEYO orchestra that will best accommodate the students' musical- social abilities and interests (see membership information ).
