PYO Uniform
PYO uniform is as follows: white shirt, PYO tie and black shoes with either black trousers (no jeans or leggings) or skirt/culottes in PYO Douglas tartan with black/navy/skin-coloured tights.

If you are playing in the August concerts but are not coming back to PYO in the autumn, and if you do not have a PYO skirt or black trousers, then a school skirt is fine.

Thursday 21 August 2025: Edinburgh Festival, Greyfriars Kirk
Tickets for the Greyfriars Concert are now available to purchase on the Fringe website -> https://www.edfringe.com/tickets/whats-on/perth-youth-orchestra-concert
As in previous years, tickets will also be available to purchase on the door.

Pupil Coach
Buses leave prompt from Music Centre, North Inch Community Campus, Perth at 12.00pm. Kinross children will be picked up at 12.30pm at Kinross park and ride, returning approx 10.10pm. Perth pupils will return approx 10.40pm.

Please bring a packed lunch.

Prior to the concert in Edinburgh all the players are going to COSMO at the Omni Centre for the world’s buffet dinner. It offers a wide variety of food choices and allergens are all clearly marked. The PYO Committee are subsidising this outing and are asking for a contribution of £15 per person. Due to a change in management policy, this year it will not be possible to buy drinks separately, but water will be provided for the tables. Payments are due at the rehearsal on 18 August in the North Inch Campus or on the day prior to the rehearsal at Greyfriar’s Kirk. If you have any dietary requirements, please let a member of staff know when making payment. This is a lovely social event for all the orchestra that is always greatly enjoyed.

Parent Coach
Once again, we will be arranging a bus for transport to the PYO concert in Greyfriars Kirk on Thursday 21 August 2025. The bus will stop at the North Inch Community Campus in Perth and at the Park & Ride in Kinross. If there is demand, the bus can also stop at Broxden on the return only.

North Inch Community Campus - please be at the North Inch Campus at 17.15 for a 17.30 departure.
Kinross Park & Ride - please be at Kinross Park & Ride at 17.50 for a 17.55 departure.

Cost will be £15 per adult and £5 per U16 child accompanied by an adult. The bus will deliver you directly to the venue and bring you back.

If you would like to book a place, please email Ann Marie Neave, PYO secretary (amneave@gmail.com).

Payment can be made on the bus. Please be aware that spaces are available on a “first come first serve” basis.
