BYPC BUS READY TO ROLL TO WINE-TASTING ON OCT. 9
Jump on board for a cheap ride up to BYPC's wine tasting event benefiting the Circle of Giving. We will deliver you safely to elegant Kimball House Mansion in Concord for an evening of fabulous food, wines from around the world and world-class entertainment courtesy of BYPC musicians. Tickets are $30.00 per person.
For only $2.50 per person, we can start the party early, and save money on gas and tolls. We must have fifty participants in order to secure the bus, so if you're interested, call the office asap 472-3894 and save a seat for yourself and your date.
Let us recap, we have a designated driver, no miles on your car, less than the cost of one gallon of gas, no tolls and we will come up with a clever name for our party wagon on the way up, and no one is allowed to sing "100 Bottles of Beer" - it is a wine tasting, after all.

BYPC Welcomes Students for
Another Stellar Year! The studios are abuzz once more with orchestral tune-ups, the mi,me,ma,mo,moos of vocalists warming their voices, the light-footed, but distinctive tip-toe of dancers, the clickety-clack of tap shoes finding a new rhythm, and resident thespians trying on the heart of new characters. Fall has come to BYPC and with it the vibrancy of the arts makes us all feel more alive and energized.
Company performers were auditioned and chosen in August, as were Apprentice Company kids, both their schedules sure to stretch their talents and provide opportunities to grow as "triple threat" performers. Kids are already hard at work for their January performance of "You're a Good Man Charlie Brown" on the new stage at Bedford High School. For a full review of the complete line-up, visit www.bypc.org/eventcal.php.
Dancers too will be showcasing their growing skills in ballet, tap, lyrical, jazz, acrojazz, and hip hop. Three levels of ballet classes are now offered at BYPC for the growing talent of our dedicated dance students. Also, read about Zumba, a new Latin dance exercise class for teens and adults, Click here to get the skinny on how folks are getting skinny shaking it Latin style - click on www.bypc.org/dance-classes.php and scroll through all the dance offerings for children, teens and now adults - dust off those tap shoes!
Some of our youngest students will be lighting up the Christmas season with our 12th Annual Best Christmas Pageant Ever, scheduled for Friday, December 5 and Saturday, December 6 at Manchester's Derryfield School. It's not too early to reserve your tickets, as the holidays become busy and you will want a seat for this delightful heartwarming story reminding us about the true meaning of the season.
Families are getting in on the act here at BYPC, participating in an Inter-Generational Family Chorus taught by Kate Richards and Jeff Davison. Kate and Jeff are coaxing harmonious sounds from kids of all ages on Monday evenings. It's not too late to join the melee, just bring your singing voices and a desire to make music and memories together.
A few other new class offerings this fall include Music Makers at the Violin in addition to Music Makers at the Keyboard. Targeted at the youngest children, ages 4-6 and 5-7, classes concentrate on having fun handling a great instrument; learning proper positioning of violin, bow and fingers while playing well-known melodies. This class is preparatory for kids entering private instruction, and gives them a chance to try the violin on for size. The Wednesday or Friday class meets from 3:15 to 4 p.m., and kids can use BYPC's violins. Music Makers at the Keyboard meets Mondays or Tuesdays 3:15 - 4 p.m.
From budding musicians to the most accomplished, BYPC offers instruction and performance opportunities for all levels of students. For our most experienced musicians, we introduce Company Ensemble, an audition-only class taught by Jeff Davison and David Couture. Under their tutelage, students will develop as musicians, performers and artists, with challenging practices designed to expand skills and repertoire and prepare them as future performing musicians. Master classes as well as opportunities to perform at community and BYPC events will round out the Company Ensemble experience. Openings are still available for piano, acoustic or electric bass, drums, guitar, trumpet, trombone, tenor and alto sax. Contact the BYPC office to schedule an audition.

You Say Goodbye, I Say Hello
It's more than a catchy Target song sung by superstar boy band, The Jonas Brothers, it's what happens in life. People say goodbye, and then others say hello. Here at BYPC we have had our share of both over the summer, farewelling many beloved instructors and starting afresh in our fall semester with a host of new faces.
Both dance instructor, Julie Smith, and voice teacher, Jennifer Boudette, have relocated to sunny Florida where they will both be continuing their teaching careers in the arts. Julie has promised to be a guest teacher at every visit to our area. Woodwind instructor, Jim Cameron, is currently touring the West Coast and Japan, playing his sax with a jazz band. Tarryn Brandl has become an entrepreneur, opening a new business with her family. We are truly grateful for their years of service.
As sad as it was to see them all go, we can't stay sad for long when great new talent has joined our team. We welcome Dee Kerri, teaching Theatre Jazz; Monica Lessard, instructor in Jazz, Ballet Technique and Modern/Lyrical dance; Lauren Shepard taking on both Ballet and Jazz/Hip-Hop; and Tanya Roberts and Kate Davison bringing Preschool Dance alive for our youngest students. Lindsay Rinaldi brings a depth of experience and expertise to our voice program and Phillip Allen rounds out our newest faculty members
with a passion for directing and acting.
