On Saturday, October 8th, the Green Mountain Youth Symphony is holding a Playathon & Bake Sale fundraiser – 7 hours of continuous live music in downtown Montpelier at Christ Episcopal Church (64 State Street, near Julio's).

GMYS musicians are collecting pledges for the Playathon. The money raised will support GMYS programs and the scholarship fund. No student is turned away for inability to pay full tuition. If you would like to donate, contact your favorite GMYS musician--there are at least two who live here in East Montpelier. You can also donate online at www.gmys-vt.org.

On Playathon Day, the music starts at 8:30am and runs until 3:30pm that afternoon. All three GMYS orchestras will hold public rehearsals during the day, providing a sneak peek at the December concert program, and at the rehearsal process itself. GMYS musicians, individually and in small groups, will keep the music going between and after rehearsals.

Baked goods and cider will be available for sale all day – or until they disappear! Come early for the best selection. The Playathon is rain or shine, but cross your fingers for shine, so that all the fun can take place in the courtyard of the church.
