Guest Blogger!
We always love to hear from guest bloggers, and this week our very own BYSO Board Treasurer, Scott Lampe, dropped by to share with us why he continues to support BYSO with his work on the board:
As a member of the BYSO board of directors for the past seven years and treasurer for the past two, it has been a pleasure to watch the organization see consistent robust growth and to see the valuable musical experience afforded hundreds of Eastside youth. Given the strong correlation of the skills and discipline required in music with success in other academic pursuits, it is gratifying to see the overwhelming support by so many Eastside families and to see their children grow in their musical talents based on their positive experiences with BYSO.
The board of directors is committed to the continued success of BYSO and encourage anyone to feel free to contact any of the board members with questions about the organization - we also are always interested in folks who may have an interest in serving with us!

Why We Chose BYSO
This week we have a guest blogger - Xiting Phillips, parent and board member with BYSO. We asked Xiting to share with us why her family was connected with BYSO and why she felt it was important to give back by giving her time and skills as a BYSO Board member.
Thank you Xiting for sharing why you and your family are passionate about BYSO! We are glad you are a part of the BYSO Family!
Guest Post:
Wow, it’s almost four years since our older son joined BYSO! Ever since our older son was born, our parenting instincts and skills have been growing with him. One thing we have discovered is there are very few places and people we can trust to leave our son with. BYSO is one, the organization and the conductors/coaches, we trust.
Through the years that our son has been in the Premiere Orchestra, we have seen how dedicated our conductors and coaches are and how much progress our son has made over these years. It’s amazing how evident the students’ improvement is from each concert. I often wonder how our conductors do this. They only rehearse 2 hours every week!
After two years in BYSO, I was “lured” in to become a board member. Of course, I kind of wanted toJ. We (my husband and I) wanted to contribute more to this organization that has children’s best interests at it’s core. Once I became a board member, I got to see behind the scenes and how the board and executive directors work and realize why BYSO is such a great organization. We are so glad that we chose BYSO for our son to join. This is only the 2nd time that we truly trust an organization that makes decisions that influences our son’s life.
