Many thanks to the YHS Band students who turned out on Friday night to cheer on our Varsity Football team. It was another exciting victory, with awesome support from our enthusiastic student section in the stands!
Thank you also to the parents who sent in snacks – our students always very much appreciate and enjoy your generosity!
Do you need help practicing your lesson HW assignment? Guided practice sessions are offered weekly and hosted by our junior and senior band members (thank you!). Students who lead or attend a session receive 1 point of extra credit. Sessions are held period 9, unless noted otherwise. I am also always available for help by appointment.
