Our February concert and gala was a huge success and a great moment for the SBYSO. We were thrilled to have Mayor Pete Buttigieg in attendance as well!
Thank you to all of our concert sponsors: Teachers Credit Union Investment Services, Commodore Homes, Advanced Ophthalmology of Michiana, Crowe Horwath, Hunt Suedhoff Kalamaros, Indiana University-South Bend, and IUSB Raclin School of the Arts. Many thanks also go out to our fabulous Gala Committee: Amanda Lucas (chair), Sara Ermeti, and Waylon Peterson. We also thank JT Thompson, Axiom Brass, and Del'Shawn Taylor for sharing their talent with our group, and to Chris French Jazz Trio (including SBYSO parents Chris French and Dennis Guillaume) and James Korn for providing music and photography, respectively, for our gala dinner. Finally, special thanks to Daniel Stowe for his help with the A/V portion of our concert. Thanks also to our parents and students for your dedication and flexibility in preparing for this concert, especially during such a busy weekend.
We are already making plans for next year's gala concert, which will take place Sunday, February 26, 2017 at the DeBartolo Center. (There will not be a Saturday evening performance next year.) Mark your calendars!

Unfortunately, we had to cancel the Axiom Brass master class, originally scheduled for 2/25/16, due to IUSB's campus being closed that day. We are working to reschedule this master class and will be in touch ASAP with more info. Check your email to find out more!
