WELCOME TO THE 25-26 SEASON

We're excited to welcome you to the 2025-2026 Season! This page will guide you through all the important links and next steps that you will need to be successful this season as a distinguished member of the Asheville Symphony Youth Orchestra. 

IMPORTANT LINKS:

GOOGLE CLASSROOM

Conductors  will share music, recordings, and other lesson materials via the Google Classroom. ALL STUDENTS MUST BE CONNECTED WITH THE GOOGLE CLASSROOM. Parents are strongly encouraged to join as well to make sure your student doesn't miss any important information. 

PLEASE NOTE: If you have a school email address it likely will not work with Google Classroom (and also may not allow you to receive/send emails). Please have an alternate email address to use during your time with the ASYO). 

Use this link to join the Google Classroom:

CUTTIME

You will receive a message from the CutTime Platform showing that you are enrolled for this season. You can read more about CutTime here. 

This platform is where we will manage payments for the ASYO Season and where your weekly updates will originate from. You'll receive updates via email and text message each week or when there are important program updates and reminders. 

Please be aware that this is our primary means of communicating with you and it is imperative that you are "plugged in" to the CutTime Platform. We will spend time during the parent orientation walking you through the use of CutTime and making sure that you are seeing messages reliably. 

If you are a returning member of the ASYO you are already in the CutTime platform.  If your contact information has changed since last season, please let me know so that we can update.  

We will also use the CutTime Platform to collect digital signatures for important documents at the beginning of the season. Please make sure that all signatures are handled via CutTime in order to reduce paperwork that will inevitably get lost. 

THE ASYO PORTAL

The ASYO Portal is a Google Site where we keep program information such as rehearsal schedules, rehearsal locations, sign-up links, etc. This is our "Digital Handbook" where important program information can be found throughout the season. Please bookmark this site and refer to it often when you have questions about procedures, rehearsals, etc. or need to register for events. You can find the portal at www.tinyurl.com/asyoportal.
