Many thanks to the YHS Band students who helped support our Huskers in their awesome playoff win over Clarkstown South!
Thank you also to the parents who sent in Hawaiian leis to help our students be part of the evening’s “theme.” The students always very much appreciate and enjoy your generosity…and enjoy dressing up our band room mascot, Otis!

Many thanks to everyone who helped make this weekend’s 16th annual Tag Sale such a success for our YHS music students! Part fundraiser, part social event, part alumni reunion, our annual Tag Sale is always so much fun to be a part of. With your help, we raised over $4,000! Thanks to all who donated items, refreshments, or your valuable time!!
Special thanks to band parents Mrs. Aoukar, Mrs. Rindone and Mrs. Mezzancello for taking care of so many details behind the scenes to ensure that both days ran smoothly, to Mrs. Olener and Mrs. Tropp for their advertising expertise, and to Mrs. Griffiths and Mrs. Shenoy for organizing our parent volunteers!
