Dear BATS Members,

 With immense pride and excitement, I welcome you to the 25th season of BATS! This milestone is a testament to the vibrant community we’ve built together—a group of young professionals who share a passion for music, culture, and connection. Over the years, BATS has become more than just a membership; it’s a family, a network, and a unique space where we celebrate the magic of symphonic music in the heart of Austin.

 This season promises to be our most exhilarating yet. As BATS members, you’ll have the privilege of experiencing four of the Austin Symphony’s most compelling concerts, including opening weekend, from prime seats and the opportunity to engage with our Maestro through exclusive events. But the excitement doesn’t end when the music does. Our post-concert parties will take you to some of Austin’s trendiest spots, where you can mingle with fellow members, the Maestro, and even the musicians while enjoying a vibrant social scene.

 As we embark on this special 25th season, I want to thank each of you, whether you’re a returning member or joining us for the first time. Your passion and support make BATS the thriving community it is today. Together, let’s make this season unforgettable, filled with music, friendship, and memories that will last a lifetime. Your presence and participation are what will truly make this season memorable.

 Best regards,

 Laramie Stroud

President

BATS Board of Directors, 2024-2025
