Many thanks to the 35 YHS Band students who turned out on Friday night 9/13 to cheer our Varsity Football team on to victory! We had fun collaborating with YHS Cheer and the “Crop” – not even a stadium blackout with 2 minutes remaining on the clock could extinguish our combined enthusiasm!
We are looking forward to our next Pep Band outing, which is this coming Friday 9/20 at Home. Details below.
Today, 50 YHS Band students enjoyed a social outing to Wilken’s Farm! Students had fun apple picking, eating yummy cider donuts, and making “bandtastic” memories. Many thanks to sophomore (and CB Vice President) Bella Bravo, for organizing this year’s trip! Photos attached for you to enjoy.
Our next Pep Band performance is this Friday 9/20, HOME vs. Tappan Zee. Interested students should sign up in the band room. On Friday evening, arrive to the band room by 5:30, wearing your YHS Band polo or a green shirt (freshmen). The game should be done by 9:30.
All YHS Band students are welcome!
Jazz Band auditions will take place Wednesday 9/18 from 1:30 – 3:00 in the band room. Audition requirements and sign-ups are available in the band room. Weekly rehearsals will begin the week of 9/23 on a day and time TBA. Returning Jazz Band students do not need to audition, but are required to attend the meeting at 1:35 on 9/18.
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 10/19 from 9am-2pm. We will be accepting donations on Friday 10/18 from 3-8pm. Tell your friends and neighbors! Many parent and students volunteers will be needed to make this event a success. Look for an e-mail in the coming weeks to find out how you can help. A flyer is attached.
