Once a PYC Singer, Always Part of Our Story
You know what happened at PYC. The confidence you found. The discipline you developed. The friendships that shaped who you became.
Now, stay connected to what made that possible.
The Transformation You Remember
You walked in uncertain. You walked out changed.
You're Still Becoming
PYC alumni are out there leading. Teaching. Creating. Building. Whether you're a Fulbright scholar, an educator shaping young minds, an artist pushing boundaries, or a professional bringing discipline and collaboration into everything you do—you're carrying forward what you learned in rehearsal.
That's not coincidence. That's the work of excellence + community working together.
The Legacy Continues
The singers performing on PYC stages today are experiencing exactly what you did. They're discovering their voices. Finding their confidence. Building friendships that will shape the rest of their lives.
Many of them are younger versions of you. And they need to know: the investment PYC made in your transformation matters. It's still happening. Will you help ensure it continues?
What's Happening at PYC Right Now
In our 23th season, we're honoring tradition while pushing artistic boundaries
This year's theme is Elements—an exploration of the fundamental forces that shape us: resilience, innovation, tradition, and transformation. Sound familiar? It's the same transformative power you experienced.
We're reaching 200 K-12 students across 48 zip codes. 41.9% identify as BIPOC. Students from 114 different schools. They come from everywhere, but when they step into rehearsal, they become part of something profound.
Remember That Feeling?
That moment when you stepped into rehearsal uncertain, and stepped out confident. When you found your voice—literally and figuratively. When you realized you were part of something that would shape the rest of your life.
That feeling doesn't have to end. Here's what happens when you stay connected:
- ✓ Relive the magic — Perform again with fellow alumni in special concert events
- ✓ Reconnect with your people — See old friends, meet new alumni, find your community again
- ✓ Follow the next chapter — Watch current singers experience their own transformation
- ✓ Be the reason it continues — Support accessibility and excellence for the next generation
Your story at PYC didn't end when you left rehearsal. It's just evolved. Let's keep writing it together.
