Batavia Youth String Ensemble (B.Y.S.E.)
at Rotolo Middle School of Batavia
Directed by Rita K. Feuerborn
This string ensemble is a group of 7-8 members that perform in the community for a donation to the orchestra program. $150 - $250 in a donation can bring the BYSE to perform for an event for one to two hours.
The BYSE is a founding group that teaches serious orchestra students the fundamentals of performing in a professional ensemble so that they may "gig" in high school and beyond for weddings and parties, and receive payment for their services.
Orchestra students are invited to audition for BYSE at the beginning of each school year.
The participation fee is @$75.
