1 2018 MUSICAL SCORE PROGRAM RUNS FROM JUNE 2 TO AUGUST 19

2 WELCOME! A decade of encouraging York County families to Get Outdoors (GO) and we are still growing strong! Once again this year, WellSpan Health and York County Libraries are partnering to encourage you to GO York! This year we want to invite you to GO and Make Music! According to some scientists, humans are uniquely designed for music and its benefits are amazing. Music strengthens brain function, affects our mood, has been shown to help in the physical healing process, improves productivity, and unites us despite communication and language barriers. So, whether you listen to music, play an instrument, sing, or just make a joyful noise, you too can discover the many benefits of music. This summer, GO York! teaches you about instruments some that you may know and others that may be a bit different. Thirty instruments wooden marker posts with a unique etching attached have been hidden in various local, county and state parks. Take this book, as your musical score, along with the rubbing sheet you received at your York County library and GO & Make Music! When you find the instrument post, use a crayon or pencil to rub the unique etching onto your rubbing sheet. It proves you found it and is your key to winning some great prizes! See the Rewards and Prizes page (p. 44) in this book for details. Also, don t forget to check out the GO York! website at for additional information, including recommended library books, facts about each instrument, outdoor safety tips, summer parks programs, and more. In addition to identifying instruments, you can Make Music! by visiting a York County Library, checking out a few books about each instrument, and reading. When you read 800 minutes this summer, you ll grow your reading and learning abilities! Read 20 minutes a day and log them online at SummerQuest.YorkLibraries.org to unlock cool badges and earn prizes! Get more badges after you visit parks, libraries, and attend programs. There are hundreds of free library programs planned just for you attend one or all of them! You get to create your own super summer adventure! Go to yorklibraries.org for all the details! So, get outdoors, have fun, and make music! Follow us on Facebook and Twitter! #goyork

3 What is Letterboxing? GO and Make Music! is based on the outdoor hobby of letterboxing. Hikers once hid letters or postcards in a box along a trail. The next person to find the box would then collect and mail those postcards. Today, people leave a unique stamp and logbook in letterboxes. The finder then stamps their personal logbook and also leaves their own personal stamp, if they have one. Again this year, we are using a unique picture located on a post that you must rub to record your find. Things to Remember: Every outdoor activity, including letterboxing, has some risks and dangers. You could get hurt, meet up with wild animals and bugs, and touch poisonous plants. Here are a few reminders as you hunt for instruments with other GO York! kids this summer: Be familiar with the area where you are headed before getting there! Make sure to follow all posted park rules. Be respectful of the environment and of others around you! Never hike alone! If you are heading out with a friend, always make sure a responsible adult knows where you will be. Always lock your vehicle and secure any valuables. Wear clothing that is loose-fitting, lightweight, and light-colored to protect your skin from the sun and to keep you cool. Lather up with sunscreen keep your skin healthy for years to come! Bring plenty of water with you and make sure you drink it even if you don t feel thirsty. If it is really hot outside, bring extra water, walk slower, and take more breaks. Seek safe shelter if the weather gets dangerous, or you hear or see storms nearby. Step carefully over and around fallen logs and branches, rocks, roots, and other things lying on the ground. Poisonous plants poison ivy, poison oak, or poison sumac may grow near an instrument or along a trail. Know what each looks like and watch out for them! Spiders, insects, snakes, or other critters may visit the same places where instruments are hidden. Be careful where you step and where you reach! Mosquitoes, black flies, or other annoying bugs may bother you. Make sure to wear bug repellent spray or other products to keep them away. Always check to make sure that you are not taking any bugs home with you. Be careful around ponds, lakes, rivers and streams. Don t swim alone! Finding GO York! Instruments: One note = It s easy. You must walk a short distance on fairly level ground. Two notes = It s a little harder. You must either walk a long distance on fairly level ground, or a short distance with some hills. Three notes = It s tough. You must walk a long distance with many hills and obstacles. Distances to all instruments were measured using a standard smart phone app. All distances are roundtrip, unless otherwise noted, based on following the clues as written from starting point to the post and backtracking to the starting point. 1

The longer tubes play the lower notes while shorter tubes play the higher notes.
