All students should have their instrument and book for class on Monday, September 29.

Open Enrollment for the Flagler Youth Orchestra is now closed. If your child has string experience and would like to join, please contact our director.

 Let Us Tug at Your Heart Strings

Instruments are meant to be played, not collect dust. Clean out your closet and give the gift of music to a young child. The Friends of the Youth Orchestra in Flagler County are asking for string instrument donations for students who want to participate in the district’s after-school orchestra program, but cannot afford to rent or buy instruments. We are looking for violins, violas, cellos, and doublebasses in all sizes. Instruments can be dropped off in the Daytona Beach area at the News-Journal (ask for Pierre at ext. 2536), 901 Sixth Street or in Flagler County by calling Cheryl Tristam at (386)263-2543. Cash donations are also needed to support our “heart strings” fund, which helps pay for additional instruments. Checks should be made out to: Friends of the Youth Orchestra, and mailed to 33 Postman Lane, Palm Coast, FL 32164. For further information about making a donation, contact Cheryl Tristam, executive director, at (386)263-2543 or by email at Cheryl@flagleryouthorchestra.org.

FYO wants to help every child who wants to play but can't afford the cost of an instrument. Please search your heart, and give the gift of music by making a donation today.
