Hi everybody,
Sorry for the delayed rehearsal plan (I typically write to you on Tuesdays and it’s Wednesday late evening).
We will continue work on Star Wars this week, as well as start Christopher Tin’s Waloyo Yamoni (our collaboration with PYC). Please download and print your Waloyo Yamoni part to practice before Sunday. Also, please listen to the reference video.
I have added wind and brass assignments for Waloyo Yamoni. Check again towards the end of the week for full assignments (hopefully), including the YCP film piece and Steffen Schmidt’s music from Palia.

ICYMI: March 2 Concert Repertoire
Check out the full program for our next concert here (and you can also take a peek at our June concert repertoire).
In addition to Star Wars, we’re collaborating with Pacific Youth Choir on a piece by Christopher Tin, the composer of the soundtrack for the video game franchise “Civilization.” We’re also welcoming an MYS alum: Steffen Schmidt. He’s a successful video game composer based in L.A. and Seoul. We’ll be playing his music for the video game Palia. Finally, a collaborative world premiere by students of the Young Composers Project, accompanying a brand new animated film by students from Portland Art Museum’s Center for an Untold Tomorrow.
March 2 Part Assignments and Practice Parts
As I mentioned above, I’ve added winds/brass assignments for Waloyo Yamoni. Check towards the end of the week for more assignments. The part assignment PDF can always be found on the sidebar of this blog.
