AYS rehearsals are held most Saturday mornings during the concert season, from 9:00 am to 12:15 pm at UCLA. There is normally an additional Friday evening rehearsal and a Sunday morning dress rehearsal on concert weekends, for a total of 6 rehearsals per concert. Members are expected to attend all rehearsals. Please consult the concert calendar before you consider applying to ensure that you will be able to participate in all performances.
