(Schedule effective Oct. 1, 2019)
Use scrip to build your credit!
Scrip is a certificate issued by a merchant and purchased through CYS that allows you to buy merchandise equal to the face of the certificate. Families receive a percentage of the face value of the certificate as credit to a musician's account. It is entirely possible to pay all membership dues and even tour with scrip alone!
CYS scrip on site sales times and locations:
- 1:50pm - 2:10pm for Associate Orchestra at Almond (Volunteer: Selina Mak, SO)
- 2:10pm - 2:30pm for Senior Orchestra at Almond (Volunteer: Selina Mak, SO)
In order for the credit to be applied correctly, please purchase scrip with personal checks (no non-member checks, please). Be sure to put your musician’s name and group in the memo of your check.
Schedule may change for special events (e.g., concerts, sectionals, parent meetings). Please refer to the weekly newsletters, Associate Orchestra Billboard, or check with the CYS office.
