Many thanks to the band parents who so generously donated food items, or their time, to host our post-concert outdoor reception. Special thanks to Ms. Rindone and Mrs. Aoukar for coordinating the on-line donations. It was wonderful to see all the smiles from our students and families as everyone celebrated their performance!

Many thanks, also, for your support and help making our Citrus Day a success. Thank you to Ms. Rindone and Mrs. Aoukar for coordinating the volunteers and food donations and to all who so generously donated supplies, food items, or your valuable time to help make this day a success!
Special thanks to Mrs. Cabral, Mrs. Federico, Mrs. Kiklowicz, Mrs. Mahanna, and Ms. Rindone for volunteering your time on Citrus Day – helping us keep our logistics organized and keep the day flowing.
There are extra citrus boxes available: gift boxes of navel/apple/pear and pecan/mandarin. $25 each. If you are interested, please e-mail Ms Kluga.
Our next major event is the fun and fabulous Swing Dance Concert! Please save the date: Saturday, February 10th 2024 from 7-10:30pm in the YHS Gym. All YHS Band students are required to attend.
Now in its 15th year, the Swing Dance Concert is an eagerly anticipated, well-attended and fun evening for our entire Yorktown community (each year we have many senior citizens and community members attend and enjoy the evening with us!).
We are in need of parent volunteers, please, to help us plan this event. Roles include: securing raffle prizes, creating raffle baskets, planning logistics, and working the raffle table, admissions table, and buffet table the evening of the event. Our next committee meeting is Thursday 1/11/24 from 6-7pm in the YHS Band Room. Please let Ms Kluga know if you would be able to help – we would love to have you join our team!
Each holiday season we are proud to participate in Operation Santa, using part of our band fundraising proceeds to purchase clothes and gifts for a needy child. Thank you to the Band Officers for purchasing and wrapping our gifts, and to the band families who so generously sent in additional items. Maimuna is a 3 year old pre-school student in the Bronx, and we hope that she will have a very Merry Christmas!
New music, recordings, and an assignment will be posted and reviewed this week. No rehearsal this Thursday. We will resume next Thursday 1/4/24 from 6:50-8:30pm. Happy practicing!
That concludes the final update for 2023! Wishing our YHS Band Family a very happy and healthy holiday season, and all the best for 2024!
