The final video assessment of the year will take place during your student’s lesson the week of 4/23. This assessment will determine your student’s readiness to attend and successfully participate in our Six Flags music festival. You should hear your students practicing at home. Ms. Kluga is available for help every day after school by appointment.
The First Nighters is a parent group whose mission is to support the YCSD Performing Arts programs. Each year they honor our junior and senior students at a Performing Arts awards banquet. Junior and senior students should have received an invitation (please let Ms. Kluga know if you have not). This year’s banquet will take place on Wednesday, May 1st at 7:00pm at Vittoria’Z on the Lake in Jefferson Valley, and will include catered dinner, entertainment, and awards presentations. Please be sure to RSVP!
YHSWE Seniors are welcome to attend our Six Flags trip to cheer on our Concert Band (and help with equipment!). If you are interested, please e-mail Ms. Kluga. The number of WE seniors attending will determine your cost. The trip is Saturday 5/11.
For interested seniors, your YHS Band Senior Bio is due by MONDAY 5/6, to be featured in our Spring Concert program. Please e-mail your completed Bio to Ms. Kluga. A worksheet on how to write a Senior Bio is attached.
A fantastic opportunity for your child to experience a week (or more!) of musical study, surrounded by college-level teachers, enthusiastic counselors, and new band friends from other towns, counties, and states! A huge variety of camps are available (both near and far!). An informational handout is attached. Please contact me with questions.
