Westside Community & Youth Orchestra regular weekly rehearsals will take place at:
First Congregational Church United Church of Christ, Fellowship Hall,
494 E Main St. Hillsboro, OR. 97123.
Note: One dress rehearsal each winter and spring term will take place in the Liberty High School band room, so please follow the term schedules carefully.
Most of our regular rehearsals will run from 4:30 PM - 6:00 PM, with extended rehearsal from 6:10 to 6:40 for select parts of the orchestra. The extensions will be announced via email, in advance.
All dress rehearsals will be 2 hours, extending to 6:30 PM. Dress rehearsals at LHS will need a scheduled 15 minute set up time @ 4:15 PM, otherwise you could be locked out of the building by the time the rehearsal begins @ 4:30 PM; and we’ll need the extra set up time, which may involve choirs in the same room. Please note these time and destination deviations on your calendar.

WCYO Concert Attire Reminder
For those of you who will be wearing black tuxes or suits, please also know that black slacks with a black sport coat is fine. Please wear a white shirt if at all possible along with a black bow tie, as well as black shoes and socks.
If you are not wearing a jacket, the common rule is all black. Shirt sleeves should be at least short-sleeves. Pants should be slacks, or if not, think dressy. Black dresses or skirts must be below the knee to floor length. Black dress shoes with black socks or stockings. No bare legs or feet. Minimal jewelry and avoid sparkly clothing, as the bright lights pick these up, which can be a distraction. Use your best judgment to dress nicely, look professional, and blend with the group.
