Dear Band Families,

Congratulations to the Yorktown Pit Orchestra for WINNING the Cappies award for Best Pit Orchestra!  There was stiff competition, but Yorktown band and orchestra members were recognized for their stellar performance during the run of Anything Goes – way to go!!

The Yorktown High School Colorguard is still welcoming new members to join for the fall 2025 Marching Band season.  No experience is necessary.  Students can come try it out at any of the remaining practices for this school year: 6/5, 6/10, 6/11, and 6/12 from 6PM-8PM in front of YHS door #1.  If you have any questions, please e-mail the director at christopher.roland@apsva.us.

I have a few last reminders to share for this school year, and then communications will be picked up again by incoming Band Booster President Krista Boyd.  I know you all are in great hands with Krista and the returning and new volunteers coming onboard for next year.  We still have vacancies, though, so please consider volunteering to help the band program continue to thrive!

  • June 3 – Chamber Concert – 7:00p
  • June 4 – YHS commencement ceremony – 7:00p, DAR Constitution Hall

This is not goodbye, just see you later!  I can’t wait to see next year’s concerts as the parent of an alumnus and as a fan of the band.  Go Yorktown High School Band!!!!
