Since that time, the DYS has become an integral step to greater musical achievement for many young musicians in the area.
The DYS rehearses at the Ford Center on Monday evenings. Membership includes students from ages 8 to 20 years old from more than 25 communities in southeast Michigan. The DYS has two orchestras and a flute choir.
