The Philharmonia includes string and wind instruments. SYMPHONY: This is a full symphony orchestra comprised of CYSO's most advanced students. WIND ENSEMBLE: Winds and brass from both the Philharmonia and the Symphony combine each week for a one hour rehearsal. Fundamentals of wind and brass playing are emphasized. SPECTRUM ENSEMBLE: This small ensemble, comprised of some of the Symphony's most advanced string players provides the opportunity to learn a large range of additional repertoire. Rehearsals take place approximately once a week. 34065 0 0 OUTREACH PROGRAM NO COST TO SCHOOLS: With the shortage of public school music programs, CYSO Outreach gives many children their first experience playing an instrument, and teaches discipline, creativity, teamwork, respect for achievement, and an appreciation of excellence. We currently have 13 outreach programs in the public schools throughout the Denver Metro area. We provide all the instruments, books, repairs, and excellent teaching staff at no cost to the student or school. We have approximately 650 kids in our outreach program. 23499 1075 30040 MUSIC CAMPS PROGRAM: CHAMBER MUSIC CAMP: This one-week day camp is open to beginning to advanced string and wind students ages 7 to 19. The students rehearse and perform in small ensembles including string groups, woodwind quintets, flute choir, clarinet choir and brass groups. Professional coaching for each ensemble is provided by Colorado Symphony members and music faculty from Colorado Universities. The week culminates in a final recital performed by the students. INSTRUMENTAL BOOT CAMP: This one-week day camp allows students to improve all the fundamentals: vibrato, counting, intonation, string crossings, and bow technique. We cover everything. The student will return to school ready to win that chair test (and back to CYSO with a higher chair or orchestra placement). Students will play with confidence and beautiful fundamental playing skills. 6117 400 3600 OTHER PROGRAM SERVICES: PREPARATORY PROGRAM: 283 0 13164 OTHER PROGRAM SERVICES: PROGRAM ADS AND TICKET SALES 6400 400 16764 201582 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 1 35 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 18 18 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 CO X COLORADO YOUTH SYMPHONY ORCHESTRAS 3039976723 428 Elati Street Denver CO 80204 SHAWN COLEMAN PRESIDENT 5 0 X X 0 0 0 LINDA SHEA VICE PRESIDENT 2 0 X X 0 0 0 PATRICK GONZALEZ TREASURER 2 0 X X 0 0 0 KAYVAN KHALATBARI SECRETARY 2 0 X X 0 0 0 SILVER AINOMAE BOARD MEMBER 1 0 X 0 0 0 OBE ARISS BOARD MEMBER 1 0 X 0 0 0 LARA CERVANTES BOARD MEMBER 1 0 X 0 0 0 MARIA CREAVIN BOARD MEMBER 1 0 X 0 0 0 VIRGIL DICKERSON BOARD MEMBER 1 0 X 0 0 0 JEROME FLEG BOARD MEMBER 1 0 X 0 0 0 MICHAEL FORTNEY BOARD MEMBER 1 0 X 0 0 0 TOM HAGERMAN BOARD MEMBER 1 0 X 0 0 0 GREGORY HARPER BOARD MEMBER 1 0 X 0 0 0 SHAWN HAUSER BOARD MEMBER 1 0 X 0 0 0 JOE MEGYESY BOARD MEMBER 1 0 X 0 0 0 KIMBERLY PATTERSON BOARD MEMBER 1 0 X 0 0 0 ELIZABETH WELLINGTON BOARD MEMBER 1 0 X 0 0 0 STEPHANIE ZELNICK BOARD MEMBER 1 0 X 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1680 0 57575 25472 13670 84727 ORCHESTRA TUITION 611690 81372 81372 0 0 MUSIC CAMPS 611690 30040 30040 0 0 TICKET SALES 611690 12990 12990 0 0 PREPARATORY MUSIC PROGRAM 611690 3600 3600 0 0 PROGRAM ADS 611690 175 175 0 0 0 0 0 0 128177 38 38 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1680 0 212942 128215 0 0 0 0 4725 4725 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 173101 133715 38748 638 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 14476 10936 3381 159 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 2852 2852 0 0 5525 5525 0 0 10486 9107 1379 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 14474 9674 4800 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 2005 2005 0 0 4501 3808 693 IN-KIND EXPENSE 13670 13670 0 0 MUSIC & ORCHESTRA SUPPLIES 1681 1681 0 0 STAFF EXPENSE 1284 643 130 511 STUDENT UNIFORM EXPENSE 1069 1069 0 0 2549 2172 0 377 252398 201582 49131 1685 4699 394 125173 84788 0 0 -4271 -5090 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 73132 52946 14133 20186 0 0 0 0 0 139734 100278 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 139734 100278 0 0 139734 100278 139734 100278 -39456 0 0 0 0 0 X 0 0 0 X 117061 111996 108964 111374 80827 530222 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 117061 111996 108964 111374 80827 530222 0 530222 33 40 110 44 38 265 0 0 0 0 0 0 43638 130989 112086 132293 128177 547183 1077670 62415 0.49201 0.49602 X Schedule A, Part II, Line 10 OTHER INCOME IS FROM ORCHESTRA, MUSIC CAMP, AND PREPARATORY PROGRAM TUITION; AND PROGRAM ADS RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 73132 52946 20186 0 0 0 0 20186 Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 11b Before filing, the Form 990 and all accompanying schedules are emailed to board members for individual review.
