Thursday’s full band zoom meeting was a wonderful tribute to our seniors! Thank you to our underclassmen for delivering such kind words and fun paper plate awards. For a group of students who have had so much taken away from them, you gave our YHS Band seniors a feeling of pride, and a glimpse into the positive influences they have had on our program and the people in it. The smiles on their faces were SO wonderful to see!
Thank you again to Abbie Ellison (current CB President and Webmaster) and Trevor Griffiths (WE Vice President 20-21) for their time organizing these awards!
Congratulations to Kayla Howell on being elected to the position of Band Librarian, we are excited to welcome you to our leadership team! Thank you to Raka Bose, Sarah Sachs, and Chinmay Satpute for their interest in being a part of our Band Executive Board. Again, as a reminder for everyone, you don’t need a title to be a leader.
Fill your neighborhood with music! Choose a piece to perform from your porch or front lawn. Participation is not mandatory, this is just meant to be a fun activity for you, your family, and your neighbors.
Please join us on Thursday 6/18 at 7:00pm via Zoom to view our Senior/Alumni ensemble virtual performance of “You’ll Be In My Heart.” All current YHS Band families and our extended alumni family are invited, and there will be a chance for social time after the performance. Ms. Kluga so looks forward to honoring our seniors one final time!
If you would like to reserve a book, please sign up on this Google form https://forms.gle/VbVQGfoG2q94s7UU9. The cost is $30 each (checks made payable to the YHS Music Boosters). This is not a fundraiser; the books are sold at cost. Ms. Kluga will figure out a way to collect checks and distribute the books, TBA.
Today our YHS Band seniors found some special treats inside their Senior Breakfast “Grad Bags.”
Sincere thanks to the Racioppo Family for gifting each Wind Ensemble student a commemorative Disney Festival water bottle. Although our trip couldn’t happen, the water bottles will serve as a fun memento from our time together. Returning WE students will receive their water bottles when we meet again. Thank you, Racioppo Family, for your kindness and generosity!
Many thanks to the YHS Band Alumni Association for creating keepsake Mason Jars for each of our seniors. The jars contain well wishes and advice from about 20 YHS Band alumni, candy, and an invitation to “keep the Band Family feeling alive” by joining our newly formed Alumni Association.
