Our second rehearsal for the season is on Thursday at 4 (3:45 arrival). It's not too late to join! We would love to have young people, as well as adults who play violin, viola, cello or double bass join us! We, also, could use a couple of good mentors to help the kids perfect their bowing and etc. If you are an adult musician who would like to give back to these kids (especially if you've had orchestral experience), please contact us!

Reminder! Our first rehearsal begins today at 4 pm! Please arrive by 3:45 to be settled and ready to go.

Can’t wait to see you all!

Don’t go Haydn on us! 😜

To our PCYO parents, students, mentors and prospective members,

We are looking forward to seeing everyone this Saturday, August 8 at 9am for our information meeting and student assessments taking place at the Amelia G Tapper Center at Gulf Coast State College. We will be sharing important information about the upcoming fall semester and introducing our new musical director and conductor Mrs. Rachel Cole.

This meeting is an excellent opportunity to connect with the PCYO board (and express interest in joining!), meet fellow PCYO parents, mentors and other students, as well as get any and all of your questions answered.

We are so excited to kick off the Fall 2026 semester with this informational meeting and encourage all who are able to attend. See you there!
