Keep practicing over the summer! If you are interested in renting an instrument from YHS, please e-mail Ms. Kluga (fee is $25, check made payable to Yorktown Central School District). Instruments will be ready for pick up by the end of exams. If you are interested in exploring private lessons, Ms. Kluga would be happy to provide you with more information.
If you want Band in your schedule for next year, please double check with your guidance counselor to avoid possible scheduling conflicts.
Many thanks to students Julia Whalen, and Ethan, Maya, and Gillian Grabowski for participating in the national sounding of Taps. (Ms. Kluga also participated with my 9-year-old daughter). Photos attached. So proud of you all!

Please return all YHS-owned instruments ASAP. Also, please return any lyres, mutes, or other items you have borrowed this year.
