Practice-a-thon
Every October we hold a Practice-a-thon where all the young musicians log their practice hours. We ask them to get sponsors who will pledge a certain amount of money per practice hour, or a set donation. We award prizes to the children who raise the most money for the orchestra, and those who have the most practice hours! Everyone who logs hours gets a prize, and if we meet our collective hours goal - there's a pizza party!
Thank you for supporting the Young People's Chamber Orchestra!
