SAY's first fundraiser for 2010 is upon us!  The 30 in 30 Project has begun and our goal is to raise the funds necessary to apply for 501 c(3) tax exempt status.  This experience will be great for our organization by bringing us closer to our goals and developing new friendships within the arts community.  For more information on the 30 in 30 project click here or email william@synergyinarts.org about how you may contribute toward our current fundraising project.

SAY is currently fostering a relationship that will provide a home for our performance ensembles to allow for auditions, practice camps, educational seminars and a great example of educational excellence.  This is an entirely new direction for an organization like ours and more information will be provided as details are finalized.  So stay tuned!

 

*Update*

 

SAY President and Vice President William Bargeron and Aaron Nichols met with University of Tampa Director of Bands Jeffrey Traster to explore the relationship described above.  We are working to explore the best possible means to make this relationship one that can grow and foster the best results for all involved.

Magical Charters recently made a generous donation to Synergy in Arts for Youth in the form of a set of Ludwig marching percussion complete with 9 snares, 5 bass drums, 4 tenors, cases and stands.  With this donation, SAY is able to move forward with our plans to field a competitive indoor drumline for the 2011 Florida Federation of Colorguard Circuit and WGI seasons.  On behalf of everyone at SAY we say thank you to Magical Charters and their support.
