2. Midland-Odessa Symphony & Chorale Season Subscription
In accordance with MSG bylaws (Article IV, Section 2.A): By September 1, all Active members and Members-in-Training must purchase an MOSC season subscription for at least one of the current Symphony concert series, or a current MOSC season subscription if invited to membership after September 1. In lieu of a MOSC season subscription, an Active Member or Member-in-Training may donate the cost of a season subscription to MOSC. All monies for MOSC Season Subscriptions will be paid directly to Midland-Odessa Symphony & Chorale, NOT to Midland Symphony Guild (MSG).
You will be required to show proof (receipt) of purchase or donation. The cost of MOSC season tickets can range from approximately $100 and up, depending on the concert series and seating level selected by you. The Guild and MOSC will provide additional information about MOSC season subscription at the Guild’s mandatory Orientation meeting in August and you may select and purchase the MOSC season subscription after this meeting.
If you choose to donate the cost of season tickets to MOSC, this does NOT relieve you and your Belle from the requirement to attend at least one MOSC concert during your MIT year.
