Rehearsal & Concert Schedule

Unless otherwise noted on the schedule or announced via the weekly e-mail reminders, rehearsals are held at North Medford High School. Please see the information below concerning the scheduling of school facilities.

Please be aware that the YSSO must relocate its rehearsals from time-to-time due to school event conflicts or facility use cancellations by the school district. When this happens, rehearsals will take place elsewhere. Listen for announcements, check the YSSO web site for information, and watch for e-mail messages.

An evening rehearsal for each orchestra is scheduled the week prior to each Concert Series weekend.

Rehearsal reminders are also posted on the Rehearsal Reminder page. YSSO organization musicians and families should consult the schedule and watch for e-mail alerts throughout the year for updates, schedule changes and reminders about full ensemble and sectional rehearsals, special activities or events, and Concert Series performances, Community Outreach Concerts, or the Chamber Music Series.

Unless otherwise outlined in the weekly e-mail rehearsal reminder, regular rehearsals for the Youth Orchestra and Youth Symphony are as follows:

Youth Orchestra:
Youth Symphony:

1:00 - 2:45 NMHS Band Room
3:00 - 5:30 NMHS Band Room

Musicians and families are asked to be aware of "Early Start" rehearsals. These rehearsals are noted in the month-by-month calendars. Please note the start and end time for each ensemble. The first rehearsal for the 2024-2025 season, for example, will be an "Early Start" rehearsal schedule.

NOTE: The use of NMHS for the Youth Orchestra evening rehearsal scheduled for February 26, 2025, has been declined due to another event at the school. The Youth Orchestra will rehearse on Thursday, February 27 prior to the Youth Symphony's evening rehearsal. Details will be provided to musicians and families as the schedule is confirmed. Also, the Community Outreach Concert scheduled for February 13 has been moved to February 20 to accommodate scheduling conflicts.

The YSSO is grateful the Medford School District and other districts and institutions have allowed the organization and its musicians to use facilities each year.

Always review the weekly rehearsal reminder sent to each musician/family via e-mail and posted on the web site for details concerning the rehearsal plan for each week. Times and locations are subject to change. Again, see your e-mail for reminders and/or visit the YSSO home page for reminders about the weekly rehearsal schedule.

Sectional rehearsals for string, woodwind and brass musicians may be scheduled periodically throughout the year. Attendance at regular, early start, evening, and sectional rehearsals is required.
