Dr. Napolitano always takes the time to write a letter to our music students after each concert, applauding their performance. Copies are distributed to students in class, but Ms. Kluga’s not sure they always make it home to you. We are so thankful for Dr. Napolitano’s (and our entire administrations) support – his heartfelt letters are such a lovely gesture of appreciation of our student’s talents!
All students were sent home with their new music for our next concert. To help guide their practice, professional recordings are now available on Dashboard. Concert Band, Wind Ensemble, and Jazz Band music are all posted. Happy practicing!
Our next concert performance is Saturday 2/11/16 at 7:00, in the YHS GYM. This is our annual Swing Dance and Concert. All YHS Band students are required to attend. It is both a concert, and a dance, and everyone is invited! (Yes, parents, you are invited! Don’t let your student tell you otherwise J). This is a well-attended and fun evening for our entire Yorktown community (last year we had audience members ages 2 – 92!).
INFO: On Saturday 2/11 at 7:00pm the YHS Gym will be transformed into a 1940’s Night Club, complete with bandstand, dance-floor, linen-clad tables and as much Valentine’s Day ambience as we can muster. The YHS Concert Band, Jazz Band, and Wind Ensemble will perform Swing Era music for your dancing and listening pleasure! Light refreshments will be served. Swing Era attire encouraged. Admission is $10 for adults and $5 for non-band students and senior citizens. The evening will begin at 7:00 with a one-hour swing dance lesson by a professional dance studio. Live music (provided by your students!) and dancing 8-10:30pm.
Thank you, as always, for your support!
