MYO Makes Music with Marsh

Did you know you can support the Metropolitan Youth Orchestra simply by shopping at Marsh? 

Between June 11 and July 15, Marsh Supermarkets will partner with MYO to help raise money for the youth and family development program.  At your Marsh check-out scanner, you will have the opportunity to donate $1, $3, or $5 to MYO.

The cost for one student to participate in MYO is $1,800 yet tuition is set at $180 to ensure that no qualified young person be prohibited from participating due to financial need. By donating to MYO you will help the ISO provide lessons and orchestra experience at a relatively low cost to all members.

We hope you’ll help support this trans-formative program by participating this summer!

Congrats to Betty Perry!

for winning the MYO chili cook off this past Sunday

In celebration of the end of an extraordinary season we held a picnic at Garfield Park on Sunday, June 3, which included a highly competitive chili cookoff among MYO teachers, parents and donors. No one was surprised by the winning chili, made by our own MYO Artistic Director Betty Perry. The competition was very stiff though and many people were talking about the cinnamon in the Bottom's Family chili and the roasted peppers in Dr. Kathryn Vanderwater-Piercy's chili. Still Betty pulled ahead to win her second chili cook off this year. About 125 people showed up to eat and grill out in the perfect weather. 

 

 The talks for next year's cook out have already begun at we are thinking RIB COOK OFF!
