Go Green!
Bring your own water bottle
We throw away hundreds of single-use paper cups every weekend, which equates to over
14,000 cups every season
. Help us divert this waste by bringing your own reusable water bottle to rehearsal. If you do not have a water bottle, you can buy one at rehearsals for $5.
Have you lost your water bottle? Come by the office this weekend or ask a PA about it.
Bring your own utensils
Do you eat Cup Noodles or bring your lunch every rehearsal break? Consider bringing your own reusable utensils.
String recycling
We have a new string recycling program. Please feel free to bring any of your old violin, viola, cello, bass, or guitar strings to the office to recycle. After collection, the metal and nylon strings are separated by type and the metal is melted down and smelted into new metal alloys. The nylon is recycled into industrial plastic applications. Read more about it

.
Carpooling
Do you and a friend live nearby to each other? Consider carpooling to save on gas and cut emissions.
