Dear band families,

Short update this week. Remember to get yourself to Pupatella on Wilson Blvd tomorrow for some award-winning pizza to support YHS Band. In fact, don’t stop with just your family, spread the word with the attached social media graphic to let your friends and family know that it’s a great night for pizza party. Order online, call ahead, or go in person to dine-in or carry-out. 

TL;DR:

  • Tomorrow – Pupatella Pizza Night for YHS Bands
  • No booster meeting tonight
  • Practice-A-Thon kicking into gear

For those keeping track, tonight would have been our monthly band booster meeting. We’re busy putting together Boston trip details and planning our winter practice-a-thon and will be canceling tonight’s meeting.

Drum/Spin/Practice-A-Thon is Upon Us

It’s almost here! We’re expanding our “A-Thon”s this year to THREE:

  • YHS Bands Practice-A-Thon, January 16-26
  • Arlington Indoor Percussion Drum-A-Thon, January 20
  • YHS Winterguard Spin-A-Thon (Dates coming soon)

We are busy visiting with students this week and next to get them set up for success in their fundraising. Each student will have their own participant fundraising page. Please help your students to reach out to friends, neighbors, family, teachers, and community members who would support them. More details to come and will be available at https://yorktownband.org/practice!

Enjoy those pizzas, paninis, salads, and pastas. I’ll be making sure to add on a tiramisu 🙂

Have a great week – and once again best of luck to our students auditioning for All District Band this weekend!
