October is fundraising month in the YHS Music Department. Each year, the YHS Bands and Orchestras each participate in regional music festivals. Our fundraisers help students defray the cost of their participation in these musical activities. Part of the proceeds will also benefit the YHS Music Boosters “general fund” which is used to cover chaperone costs, provide end of year awards, fund social events, and purchase items that benefit the entire program.
The Citrus Sale is our largest fundraiser! Last year we sold over 44,920 pounds of citrus and made a PROFIT of over $21,500! Please help us make this year’s sale even more successful! Information was distributed and reviewed in class this week. As the sale benefits everyone, we ask that all band students please sell at least 5 boxes.
Our final regular season performance of the year is this Saturday 10/10, at home vs. Beacon. ALL band students are invited to attend!

Thank you so much for your help in making Friday Night’s Homecoming Tail-Gate a success (despite the rain)! Whether you donated food, hot chocolate, or your time, the band truly appreciate your support! Special thanks to Mrs. Serafin for organizing our parent volunteers, the DiPierro and Statler families for donating grills (and grilling skills!), and the DeGuglielmo, Pratt, and Warren families for donating rain shelters.
With 70 band members attending, we were a musical force in the stands. The challenging weather seemed only to intensify our already overflowing Husker Pride! What a wonderful opportunity for all YHS band members 9-12 to have fun together and support our school community. Thank you again for making this evening possible; it’s these kinds of events that stick in student’s minds and help build a strong and unified band program!
