All 85 YHS Band students joined musical forces to put the “pep” in Friday’s school-wide Pep Rally. The students performed 10 tunes and sounded great!
I’m so proud of our Pep Band students for lending their enthusiastic musical support at Friday’s Homecoming game! We are thrilled to be part of such an awesome showing of support from our YHS community – go Huskers!

To our Band Families, thank you so very much for your help making our Homecoming event a success for our students! Your work on our behind-the-scenes logistics is so appreciated; whether you donated money for the pizza, sent in snacks, or volunteered your time, our event was a smooth and enjoyable experience because of you. Our students treasure these Band traditions, and it is wonderful to see them having fun and enjoying social time together!
Special thanks to Ms. Rindone for your work and time being the lead parent organizer for this event and to Mrs. Mezzancello for organizing and picking up our pizza order!
Please join me before school (from 7:10…or whenever you get off the bus… until the first bell) to practice improvising. Help yourself develop your skills and a plan for success!
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.
