The October lesson calendar is attached, as well as an alphabetical list of student lesson groups. If you have questions about this important part of your student’s grade in band, please review the YHS Band Handbook or contact Ms. Kluga.
Seating auditions will take place next week at your student’s band lesson. It is imperative that students understand that WE ARE A MUSICAL TEAM and ALL PARTS ARE IMPORTANT! Just as any sports team needs to have balanced playing positions on the field or court, our band will perform and sound best when we have strong players on every part. If you have questions, please see the attached letter regarding this process.
One of our first fundraisers of the year is the annual Music Boosters Tag Sale. This is a reminder to please save your stuff to donate!! The sale will take place in the YHS Cafeteria on Saturday 10/14 from 9am-2pm. We will be accepting donations on Friday 10/13 from 3-7pm. Tell your friends and neighbors! Many parent and student volunteers will be needed to make this event a success.
A flyer is attached FYI. Feel free to share with family/friends or post on work or community bulletin boards. Parent volunteers will be needed. Please refer to the e-mail from parent-organizer Theresa Ryan-Onatzevitch ([email protected]) to find out how you can help.
