Due to the icy weather forecasted, we will postpone our ice skating trip to Bear Mountain. The new date is SUNDAY 1/30.
Ms. Kluga will post a new sign up sheet in the Band Room. Details below:
The Band Officers have planned a skating outing at Bear Mountain on Sunday 1/30 for the 10:00-11:30am public skating session. Students must be accompanied by an adult chaperone. Everyone is responsible for paying for their own skating. Meet at 9:30am to get in line and purchase your tickets. (Parking is $10. Skate rentals are $10. Tickets for skaters and spectators are $5 each). All people entering the rink area need a ticket. All YHS Band students are welcome. We hope you will join us!
