FORM IS NEEDED

New this year, the Relay organizers are requesting that all student participants fill out the form attached to the email.  Please return it to Ms. Kluga in class this week.

 

HELP IS NEEDED!  We need assistance bringing 30 chairs, stands, and equipment from YHS to Relay.  If you have a large car and are able to help, please let me know.  We will load equipment on Friday 6/9 after school, and will need all equipment returned either after the performance, or on Monday morning.

Instrument & Supply Returns

If your student has a YHS owned instrument, and has not yet returned it, please bring it into school this week. Also, any flip-folders, lyres, mouthpieces, books, or any other borrowed supplies need to be returned. Thanks!

 

If your student has rented from ARDSLEY or MUSIC & ARTS, they are also due in the band room.  Please clean out your case, make sure all mouthpieces, ligatures, and mouthpiece covers are present.  If you would like to continue your rental program over the summer, please contact your rental company.

 

Music & Arts Location Now Open in Mt. Kisco

Offering lessons, rentals and repairs, supplies, print music and instruments for purchase.  A $10 coupon, and brochures with more info are available in the band room.

Also, all YHS Band students are offered one free private lesson at their studios.  Call the store to schedule.  And, a new rental option is now being offered as well – students can rent an intermediate instrument (instead of a beginning model), with the monthly rental fees going towards the purchase of the instrument.
