JOIN THE FIRST NIGHTERS!

As the Huskers are to YHS athletics, the First Nighters is a parent group whose mission is to support our YHS Performing Arts programs.  Their sponsorship form is attached. Please consider joining and volunteering!

YHSBANDS.COM

If you are receiving this e-mail, thank you for registering at www.yhsbands.com.  Please be sure to respond “OK” to the set-up verifications (phone and e-mail), as they may have ended up in your spam folder.  This is my primary method of communication for e-mail updates (for families), and lesson/event text reminders (for students).

Our band tech is provided by the very hard work of student webmasters Renee Nfor (’24), Kelly Griffiths (’25), Devin Robinson (’26), and head webmaster Joe Menduni (YHS class of 2014). Thanks guys! 

You will also receive periodic e-mails from our Band Aid Core Helpers (BACH) parent organization ([email protected]) informing you of ways that you can volunteer at our events.  If you are interested, there are many ways you can be involved!
