GWYOA AUDITIONS – SATURDAY 5/15

The Greater Westchester Youth Orchestra Association is a local audition-only symphony orchestra (strings, woodwinds, brass, and percussion).  It is a wonderful opportunity to grow as a musician, learn advanced repertoire, and perform alongside other dedicated and aspiring music students. A flyer with audition information is attached.  Contact Ms. Kluga with questions.

SENIOR PHOTO OPPORTUNITY – SATURDAY 5/22

The First Nighters sponsored photo sessions for our awesome Performing Arts Seniors will take place on Saturday, May 22nd.  Please sign up using this link. Each photo session is 15 minutes and will take place outdoors near the front entrance of YHS.

Pictures will be available on Mr. Castner’s website, and each senior will be highlighted on Twitter. Band students, please wear concert black for your photo, hold your instrument, and wear your senior pin (which Ms. Kluga will give to you soon).

YHS BAND SPRING CONCERT INFO

After receiving guidance from our YCSD admin, the plan is to have an in-person Spring Concert, outdoors, with only senior parents in the audience. For non-senior parents, our concert will be video-taped and/or live-streamed.

We are in the process of finding a date/time and rain-date for this event. Once Ms. Kluga has these details, she will share them here.
