Several obstacles must be overcome to begin an organized youth string/orchestra program:

1. Limited space is available in the SVSD system for rehearsals and concerts. Any non-school-sponsored programs wishing to use SVSD facilities are required to pay fees too expensive for a fledgling program. No non-district spaces were discussed, except for a joke about using the IGA on the Ridge since no one ever seems to be in there.

2. Possible grant options were discussed and will be further researched.

Resources identified include:

1. Hammond Ashley in Issaquah

2. Music Works NW in Bellevue

3. Teachers

4. Advertising and PR support

Anyone interested in participating in the upstart of this program should contact info@snovalleystrings.org for more information.
