 musicianship.The Symphonia is a middle school level group for developing players. Students in this group rehearse
 and perform challenging repertoire. 
Cost is $50.00 per semester. Checks should be made to SEYO. Payment at the beginning
 of the semester is appreciated. However, installments may be made. For those families experiencing financial hardship, 
SEYO may have financial assistance plans. Check with a Conductor, or Board member for details.

see schedule below. Prelude students (grades 4-5) do not need to audition - simply show up with your instrument! Typically,

 1st violin). However, students may audition for placement - call one of the Directors (listed above) for details. (All students may 
play - we do not "cut" students from this group!) Students should use the main parking lot entrance, and follow
