Grant Yeater ‘25 plays the viola with the Colorado Youth Symphony Orchestra (CYSO) before the Nuggets game against the Portland Trailblazers at Ball Arena Feb. 4. Yeater auditioned for the group in July 2023 and achieved a position in the Symphony, the most advanced of the four ensembles in CYSO. All four groups were invited to perform a Hamilton Medley approximately 30 minutes before the game began. “This was such a cool experience because I got to play my viola, which is one of my favorite things to do in my free time, in front of a bunch of people,” Yeater said. “This is also my first time at a Nuggets game as well as my first time inside of Ball Arena, so this is a really exciting night for me.” Media by Claire Yeater
