On Tuesday, February 23^rd, the YCSD Band Program will hold it’s 4^th Annual Town-Wide Band Concert (a.k.a. BANDAPALOOZA!) in the YHS Gym.  All band students grades 5-12 will participate.  This is a wonderful experience for all of our students – fostering positive relationships between all levels, and allowing our youngest band students and parents to see the full progression of our band program. 

As in years past, due to fire codes and the possibility of exceeding the maximum gym capacity, we ask that YHS band parents and families please not attend this concert as audience members.  I apologize for this and thank you for your understanding.  (If it is any consolation, the YHS Concert Band and Wind Ensemble students will each be performing a selection that you will already have heard at our Swing Dance).  

However, we do need parent volunteers.  If you are interested in helping us achieve this intensely logistical feat, we would love your help!  Please e-mail Ms. Kluga.

Band midterms will take place during your student’s lesson the week of (1/25-29).  Students will receive a short playing assignment that they will practice at home and then perform for me individually. Ms. Kluga will review this entire process with the students in class.  

You should hear your student practicing at home. Students are always welcome to practice during their free periods or after school.  If your student would like extra help, Ms. Kluga am available by appointment.

Concert Band students – your Hershey payment is due Friday 1/29.  All CB students received their personal account information last week.  A reminder that the Hershey trip is Saturday 5/21/16.  PARENTS, we are still in need of 4 chaperones for this trip.  E-mail me if you are interested.

Wind Ensemble students – your NYC trip information will be available soon.  A reminder that the NYC trip is Sat. 5/14 – Mon. 5/16.

Many thanks to the 25 students who attended our social outing this Saturday, it was a fun way to spend time together!  Special thanks to our Wind Ensemble President, Abby Ferri for organizing!
