FMAYS PROVIDES A RIGOROUS ORCHESTRAL EXPERIENCE THROUGH AUDITIONS, REHEARSALS, SECTIONALS WITH PROFESSIONAL MUSICIANS, CONCERTS, AND A CONCERTO COMPETITION. IN THE SPRING AND FALL WE HOLD AUDITIONS FOR EACH ENSEMBLE. OUR MUSIC DIRECTORS AND OTHER PROFESSIONAL MUSICIANS JUDGE THE AUDITIONS AND PROVIDE WRITTEN COMMENTS TO HELP STUDENTS IMPROVE THEIR MUSICAL SKILLS IN THE FUTURE. STUDENTS PARTICIPATE IN WEEKLY REHEARSALS FROM MID-SEPTEMBER TO MID-APRIL. IN ADDITION TO FULL ENSEMBLE REHEARSALS, LOCAL PROFESSIONAL MUSICIANS COME IN TO LEAD SECTIONALS. SECTIONALS BREAK DOWN THE ENSEMBLE INTO SMALLER GROUPS BY INSTRUMENT AND ALLOW A SPECIALIST TO HELP WITH INSTRUMENT-SPECIFIC CHALLENGES. DEPENDING ON THE ENSEMBLE, STUDENTS PERFORM IN THREE TO FIVE CONCERTS DURING THE SEASON. FMAYS CONSISTS OF THREE ORCHESTRAS: THE CONCERT STRINGS, THE ATTACCA STRINGS, AND THE SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA. THE CONCERT STRINGS ARE A STRING ORCHESTRA FOR SIXTH THROUGH EIGHTH GRADE STUDENTS WITH 52 MEMBERS. FOR THE 2023-2024 SEASON, THEY PERFORMED IN 3 CONCERTS. THE ATTACCA STRINGS IS AN ALL-STRING ORCHESTRA FOR STUDENTS IN GRADES NINE THROUGH TWELVE WITH 40 MEMBERS. THEY PERFORMED IN 3 CONCERTS. ATTACCA STRINGS BRIDGES THE GAP BETWEEN STRING PLAYERS WHO ARE NOT QUITE READY FOR THE REPERTOIRE OF THE SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA, YET STILL DESIRE A CHALLENGING STRINGS-ONLY OPTION. IN THIS CAPACITY, STUDENTS ARE GIVEN A MORE EXPOSED ROLE WHERE EVERY PERFORMER'S MUSICAL VOICE CAN BE HEARD. THE SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA CONSISTS OF WINDS, BRASS, PERCUSSION, AND STRINGS WITH 72 MEMBERS. THE STRING PLAYERS ARE IN GRADES NINE THROUGH TWELVE, AND THE WIND, BRASS, AND PERCUSSION STUDENTS ARE IN GRADES EIGHT THROUGH TWELVE. THE SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA PERFORMED IN 6 CONCERTS. THIS IS OUR TOP ENSEMBLE THAT MOST CLOSELY RESEMBLES THE PROFESSIONAL ORCHESTRAL EXPERIENCE. WE ALSO HAVE A CHAMBER MUSIC PROGRAM CALLED ENCORE CHAMBER, WHICH CONSISTS OF STUDENTS FROM THE SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA. GROUPS OF TWO TO FIVE STUDENTS PERFORM IN THESE CHAMBER ENSEMBLES THROUGHOUT THE YEAR AND ARE COACHED BY LOCAL PROFESSIONAL MUSICIANS. FMAYS PERFORMS OUTREACH CONCERTS IN VALLEY CITY, WHERE THERE IS NO YOUTH ORCHESTRA, AND AT LOCAL NURSING HOMES. THE SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA PARTICIPATES IN AN ANNUAL SIDE-BY-SIDE REHEARSAL WITH THE FARGO-MOORHEAD SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA, CULMINATING IN A PERFORMANCE AS A PART OF FMSO'S MASTERWORKS SERIES. OFTEN CITED AS STUDENTS' MOST MEMORABLE EXPERIENCE IN FMAYS, THE SIDE-BY-SIDE GIVES STUDENTS A CLOSER LOOK INTO THE PROFESSIONAL MUSIC WORLD, AS THEY GET TO LEARN FROM AND PLAY ALONGSIDE PROFESSIONAL MUSICIANS. FMAYS HAS AN ANNUAL FOUNDERS' CONCERTO COMPETITION. A CONCERTO IS AN INSTRUMENTAL SOLO THAT HAS ORCHESTRAL ACCOMPANIMENT AND IS GENERALLY VERY DIFFICULT TO PERFORM. THE WINNER OF THE COMPETITION GETS TO PERFORM AS A SOLOIST WITH THE SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA. THIS ALLOWS THE WINNER TO SHOWCASE THEIR TALENT AND SKILLS ON CHALLENGING MUSIC WRITTEN AS A SOLO FOR THEIR INSTRUMENT. 0 111516 111516 LAURA KELLOGG EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR 20.00 28325 0 0 SANDERS ELLINGSON PRESIDENT 0.00 0 0 0 DAVE KEMPER VICE PRESIDENT 0.00 0 0 0 KYLE VANDERBURG TREASURER 0.00 0 0 0 REBECCA VASTAG SECRETARY 0.00 0 0 0 ALEX RYDELL BOARD MEMBER 0.00 0 0 0 SHERRY LINNEROOTH BOARD MEMBER 0.00 0 0 0 TOM CHRISTIANSON BOARD MEMBER (LEFT FEB 2024) 0.00 0 0 0 ERIN TORPEY BOARD MEMBER 0.00 0 0 0 X 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 KYLE VANDERBURG 808 3RD AVE S STE 302 FARGO ND 581031865 7019291814 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 NONE NONE 1 X 33004 42149 45365 34709 28446 183673 64026 32780 69386 72796 73604 312592 97030 74929 114751 107505 102050 496265 0 0 0 496265 4359 6537 4996 3966 5768 25626 4359 6537 4996 3966 5768 25626 11399 11399 12399 12544 24943 101389 93865 143690 111471 107818 558233 0.88900 0.87890 0.04590 0.05630 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED FORM 990-EZ, PART I, LINE 4 - OTHER INVESTMENT INCOME DESCRIPTION: DIVIDEND INCOME.
