SENIOR PAPER PLATE AWARDS

Each year the underclassmen make small awards to present to our seniors. Awards will be distributed virtually Thursday 6/11 at 1:00 during our Full Band Zoom.

Underclassmen: if there are senior band students that you would like to honor, please see the e-mail from Abbie Ellison and Trevor Griffiths on how you can participate. All awards must be in good taste and appropriate for a school setting.

INSTRUMENT RETURNS

Seniors – if you have a YHS-owned instrument (it will say it on the case), please return your instrument to school on June 12th, when you report to pick up your cap and gown.

Underclassmen – if you have a YHS-owned instrument, you will keep it for the summer.

All Students – if you have a rental instrument from an outside rental company (Music and Arts, Ardsley, etc) – please contact the company to either extend your contract, or schedule a time to drop off the instrument to their location. We cannot collect these instruments at YHS.
