Meet Your Hosts: Jason & Jenna Day
This year’s historic AYPO Alumni Dinner is graciously hosted by Jason and Jenna Day at their home. Jason, a proud AYPO alum, pursued a degree in violin performance before dedicating 20 years to teaching orchestra and general music. His passion for music and education led him and his wife, Jenna, AYPO Board member, to open Day Violins, Northern Virginia’s Premier String Shop. Their son, Xander, also continued the family’s musical legacy as a flutist in the AYPO orchestra. The Days are honored to welcome fellow alumni and friends for an evening of reconnection, celebration, and shared memories.
