An important note about Saints John and Paul Church: The church staff members have asked us to remind everyone that the church is their sacred space.

Thank you for your cooperation.

8) 
Please consider supporting your fellow PYCO family members from other ensembles and refrain from leaving the concert early. All of our students have worked hard this semester and would love to share what they prepared with everyone in attendance, especially since the high school students in the PYCO orchestra arrive first for dress rehearsal and play last in the concert. All of our ensembles would be greatly appreciative if the parents and students of the other groups do not leave after their own performance. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation in this matter.

9) Winter break starts after the concert. We will not have rehearsal again until Sunday, January 6, 2019.
