Registration, Forms/Releases, Payments

The date for annual registration, volunteer recruitment, and orientations for parents is October 6, 2024.

The Youth Symphony of Southern Oregon organization holds parent orientation sessions in the fall for parents to become acquainted with each other, meet staff and members of the governing board, submit all required registration forms/releases and payments, volunteer for tasks and duties during the season, and learn about the organization.

All completed, signed forms/releases and payments are due at registration. Please be sure you and your child/children understand and follow all current policies and procedures.

YSSO families are asked to assist with a minimum of at least two volunteer activities during the season. The success of the Youth Symphony of Southern Oregon is dependent upon the support and active participation of parents and families. Parents should complete and turn in the Volunteer Opportunity & Needs Checklist with other registration forms/releases. Parents may sign up for volunteer tasks/duties at registration. The checklist, however, should be turned in with the other registration forms as well.

Any forms, releases or payments not turned in at registration should be MAILED to the YSSO. Please DO NOT bring forms or payments to rehearsals. Please do not give your forms/payments to others to turn in for you. The mailing address is: YSSO, P.O. Box 4291, Medford, OR 97501.
