Ms. Kluga so looks forward to honoring our seniors one final time! Zoom information will be sent out the day of the event.

ICE CREAM SOCIAL 2020 – SAVE THE DATE!

Looking ahead to next school year, please save the date for YHS Band Ice Cream Social #19. Whether it will be a virtual experience, or socially-distanced in person, we look forward to welcoming our freshmen and welcoming back our returning band students! Ice Cream Social 2020 is scheduled for Wednesday 9/2, 6-8pm.

DONATE YOUR YHS BAND POLO

If you are a graduating senior, or if you are not returning to our program next year, please consider donating your band polo. Ms. Kluga will put a drop-off bin in the band hallway. Seniors, you can drop off your polo when you return school materials next week. Underclassmen, you can drop off when you are invited to return your materials.

FESTIVAL REIMBURSEMENTS

Reimbursements for our Disney Festival and Six Flags Festival are moving along slowly. Our district is working with the vendors and Ms. Kluga will continue to keep you posted as more information is available. Thank you for your patience, we understand this is a frustrating situation.

MUSIC MONDAY

Ms. Kluga is excited to share that the audio version of our virtual of God Bless America project will be used in our YHS Virtual Graduation Ceremony! And, our version of Pomp and Circumstance (a collaborative project with our Wind Ensemble and Orchestra students) will be completed this week and used as the music behind the “Graduation for One” video montage.

This continues our Music Department’s annual tradition of providing music for our graduation ceremony; Ms. Kluga is so happy that our music students can continue to support our seniors!
