BAND PARENT HELPERS 2022-2023

If you are interested in becoming a member of our core group of band parent helpers, please e-mail Ms. Kluga.  She will be in touch in August to start planning next year’s events.  A big THANK YOU to all the awesome parents who made this year a success!

Thank you all for your help and support creating a wonderful year for our students!  I sincerely appreciate and am so thankful for you – our amazing YHS Band community.  Have a fantastic summer!

ITHACA COLLEGE BAND PROGRAM CELEBRATES 100 YEARS!

Ms. Kluga’s beloved alma mater. The place that helped mold her into the musician, educator, and person that she is today.  Last weekend she had the opportunity to perform with the alumni band in this celebratory concert. It was absolutely inspiring to be back on stage with her professors and peers, to reconnect and make some awesome music performing some of her all-time favorite band repertoire. Take a listen here if you are interested.

WEST POINT SUMMER CONCERTS

A wealth of world-class FREE concerts are offered each summer at West Point (including an AMAZING 4th of July Concert featuring the 1812 Overture with fireworks and REAL CANNONS!)  For details, please visit www.westpointband.com.  If you’ve never been, the campus is gorgeous and so historically interesting.  A real gem of the Hudson Valley and worth a visit!

THANK YOU GRADUATION BAND!

Many thanks to all of the band students who performed at the graduation ceremony yesterday. Our entire learning community truly appreciates your time and talents!  Thank you for your participation and help in creating this special memory for our seniors and their families! 

CONGRATS SENIORS!
