Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the Civic Youth Orchestra?
A: We are a non-profit organization providing music education and performance to young musicians in the San Diego area for over 55 years. We strive to have a positive influence on our county and our young musicians.
Q: Where can I find the CYO concert schedule for the 2011-12 season?
A: Go to "Concerts" and you will be able to print the CYO concert schedule along with purchasing tickets to each event. This year we also offer a season pass at a reduced rate.
Q: What do I wear at concerts and when is my call time?
A: Go to "Concert
Attire" and you will find information on what each ensemble
must wear while performing. Specific call times will be posted if known.
The general rule is 45 minutes prior to a performance.
Q: Can the audience take pictures and videos during
concert performances?
A: During most of our performances video and still photography are
allowed, however, please do not use a flash or light and shut off all sound on
your camera. Flashes and shutter clicks are very disturbing to the performers
and to the rest of the audience. The one venue we can not allow
photography of any kind is in the San Diego Copley Symphony Hall. We try to
arrange professional audio and video recordings of these performances for
purchase after the concerts.
Q: How do I volunteer to help CYO?
A: Thank you for your interest in CYO. You can go to "Volunteer"
and send us an email telling us what you would like to do. Remember to include
all your contact information if you are not already a member of CYO. Someone
will contact you soon.
Q: How can I be included on your email list so I'm notified of upcoming events and changes to schedules?
A: Go to "Contact" and send us your
contact information so we can add it to our database. We need your
email, phone number (cell, home), address, and what your affiliation to
CYO is, such as, parent of ???, supporter, someone who enjoys classical
music, etc.
Q: I am a private teacher and would like to
be included on your list of available teachers. What do I have to do to
be included on that list?
A: Go to "Contact" and send us your
contact information. We can then add you to our database. We need
your email, web site if you have one, phone number (cell, work), address
where you teach, instruments you teach, a short bio if you like, city

members please let us know which ones.
