This morning many of our YHS Band students attended a fun apple picking trip to Wilken’s! Students enjoyed apple picking, a tractor ride, the corn maze, cider and donuts, and made priceless Band memories. Many thanks to Band Officers Gillian Grabowski and Joe Angelucci who helped organize our trip!
Last week, junior trumpet/horn player Ichiro Iizuka was honored to perform at the Shrub Oak 9/11 Remembrance Ceremony. Congratulations and thank you to Ichiro for his beautiful musical tribute.
