As we continue to work with the Upbeat app to create our virtual recordings, it has become very clear that having a printed copy of the music is a key to success. Please have your student print out a copy of Sleigh Ride.
This week’s sessions will focus on our current project, the quintessential holiday classic, Sleigh Ride. Bring your questions, this piece is tricky!
All sessions take place p.9 via Zoom. Check your e-mail for the link. Thank you to our awesome upperclassmen leaders for hosting!

5. We will record at Thursday’s rehearsal. Wear a button down long-sleeved black dress shirt and the craziest tie you can find. (If more than your torso is in the frame, then add black dress pants and black socks/shoes).
Each year our Band Officers design an optional piece of YHS Band apparel. This year, they are excited to offer a charcoal gray quarter-zip, featuring our YHS Band logo on the left chest, and your student’s last name on the right chest. An order form and more information are attached.
Thank you to senior Aniyah Seales (YHS Band Treasurer) for your work on this year’s apparel!
