Rehearsals are 7:30-9:00 in the YHS Band Room. Jazz Band students are asked to arrive by 7:20 so we can be set up and warmed up to start promptly at 7:30. This week in class students will receive their music and a calendar of Jazz Band rehearsals and events.
All band students are invited – and especially our freshmen students! Join us as we perform crowd-rallying music at the varsity football game, and enjoying a pre-game dinner and tons of band spirit beforehand at the 16th Annual YHS Band Homecoming BBQ. A student sign-up sheet is available in the band room.

We are also looking for parents to donate supplies and/or their time. We will need chaperones, food donations, food preparation, and clean-up help. Please look for an e-mail from parent-organizers Karen Menduni and Diane Racioppo ([email protected]) to find out how you can help.
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!!
