    Steady Beat 2008-2009 Annual Report Our Year-End Message to Our Friends Roy E. King, Jr. Henry Miyamura Selena Ching President Music Director Executive Director Steady Beat: It’s not the most exciting part of playing music but it’s crucial to a well performed piece; a fundamental building block of music. And it was our mantra through‐ out the 2008‐2009 year. With economic woes hitting every sector of support for our organiza‐ tion, our main goal was to hold the line and stay a steady course. From the governance level to the front lines, everyone at HYS pulled together to keep the beat, avoiding layoffs and program cuts. Shifts were made in the way we approached our work and we focused on our business practices to ensure we would weather the financial storm. We took modest steps to maintain programmatic momentum, but we were cautious about pursuing overly aggressive goals that could throw off the beat. The end result was a year of sound financial health, moderate program growth and sensible forward movement. In a healthier economy, we would have gone to greater lengths to expand programming and create more accessibility. However, given the climate in which we were op‐ erating, we believe HYS’s deliberate strategy of careful, reserved steps forward—avoiding the loss of any ground—to be a great success for fiscal year 2009. Our music programs continued their boom, showing no decline in demand. We offered services to 505 students, ages 6‐18 years, from 108 schools on Kauai, Oahu, Maui and the Big Island.

    HAWAII YOUTH SYMPHONY ♪ 2007-2008 Annual Report Our Year-End Message Dear HYS Friend, Looking back on the Hawaii Youth Symphony’s 43rd season of providing quality music education, we reflect upon a year of great growth in our programming as well as student development. While proudly watching the achieve- ments of the 584 students enrolled in our music programs, the Board of Directors focused its efforts on planning for HYS’s future. With an eye on what lies ahead for our communities, the Board drafted HYS’s first strategic plan: a bold course for HYS to ensure that it can carry forth its commitment to provide any interested student, from any corner of Hawaii, access to high-quality musical opportunities, many of which cannot be found else- where in the state. Copies of HYS’s strategic plan are available on our website or by calling the HYS office. One of the year’s highlights worthy of special note was a fundraising effort for the Honolulu Symphony. Hear- ing of the financial fragility of the Honolulu Symphony and realizing the important role its musicians play in our communities and their own lives, HYS students created the Symphony Cents campaign. They started a collection among themselves and organized a rally on the Blaisdell Concert Hall lawn, inviting students throughout the state to attend. In February, they alerted the media, painted signs and produced live music to increase awareness about the Symphony’s need for community support. We applaud our students who raised more than $1,500 and recognized the significance of the Symphony musicians to their futures as well as that of our island community.
