Just like any sports team, our band needs quality players at every position to perform our best. In Concert Band, we are in need of euphonium, French horn, bassoon, and tenor sax players. Students, please consider helping our musical team (and giving yourself an opportunity to shine!) by switching to one of these instruments.  If you are interested in finding out more, please attend one of our sessions after school where you can try out the instrument.  Information is posted in the band room.

(And, FYI, if you do decide to make the commitment to switch, YHS owns these instruments so there would be no additional rental cost).

A reminder that due to the college conference on Thursday evening, Jazz Band will meet Tuesday from 7:20-9:00.

Many thanks to the crew of band students who performed at Friday night’s football game vs. Somers! Although the game did not go the way we all wanted, Ms. Kluga is so happy that we were able to be there to support our team.

Our final football Pep Band performance will be this Friday vs. TBD. More info to follow.

Please help your student participate in our Citrus Sale. Even if your family is able to cover the entire cost of your student’s festival trip, that cost does not include participation fees for chaperones. We are required to fundraise to cover this expense.

Without chaperones, we cannot travel. Please help us raise the funds needed to make these trips possible and successful for our students. Contact me with any questions.

* The citrus sale ENDS on Wed. 10/31.  All forms and orders are due in class on Thursday 11/1.

* Our TONS of citrus will be delivered Mon. 12/17.  Your student is responsible for picking up their entire order between 2:30 and 7:00pm at YHS.

Students can access their online sales by visiting https://www.ifundraise.com/member and entering their six-digit personal ID#, which was distributed in class.
