Band booster meeting date and a big thank you!

Hi everyone! First off a big thank you to all the parents, students, and instructors that made our beginner band weekend a success!

Our band booster organization has come up with a date for the first meeting of the year.  We will meet on Tuesday October 9 at 7pm in the YRHS choir room.  All parents are strongly encouraged to attend.

A quick update!

Hey everybody!
The year is off to a fast start and we have hit the ground running!  The YRHS marching band (which includes some of our grade 8's) are well into preparations for their halftime show at the Sept. 29 Riders/BC game (If you want to see the show, we will be performing at the YRHS FRIDAY NIGHT LIGHTS GAME on Sept 28).  Grade 7 and 8 full band are underway, and Tuesday and Thursday Jazz start next week!  Thank you to all parents and students for bringing back your grey and orange forms, as this helps us update our roster.

One big event to remember is our Grade 5 clinic THIS FRIDAY from 7-9 and SATURDAY from 9-11:30 at YORKDALE.  Please use the main doors to enter.    Parents please remember to be at Yorkdale on Saturday at 10:30 for the band oooster parent meeting.  Also, our Grade 6 refresher is in one hour blocks between 1 and 2 and 2 and 3 pm on SATURDAY.  We are looking forward to seeing you there!

Mr. Yemen and Mrs. Linsley
