Attachment: Band Day Flier
Hello band families,
Thank you to everyone who showed up and helped us raise funds for Band Day on Saturday. It was a gorgeous day and the students did a fantastic job bringing in the donations. Band day doesn’t have to stop there – a big part of the donations received also come in online. Please share the attached PDF version of our Band Day flier with friends and co-workers.
Marching Band Props
As with September, we are seeking parents to help with prop storage after rehearsals. A sign-up for October is available. This short, one-time commitment can help our students head home faster to get to rest (and homework). Sign up today.
JMU Parade of Champions on Saturday
The weather is looking fantastic for our competition in the mountains. This event includes a performance by the JMU Marching Dukes as well as our biggest stadium experience of the year. We still need parents to help particularly onsite with props and uniforms. Sign up to help – and claim your seat on the bus.
It is strongly encouraged that if you are helping with props on Saturday that you attend the last 10 minutes of rehearsal on Tuesday and help store the props. This will give you the experience of knowing how to quickly clear the field. Sign up for prop storage.
We still have a few seats left on the charter bus as well for volunteers (and supporters). Sign up to claim your seat. Priority will be given to volunteers (join us). Note that trucks will leave the competition site before the buses so you cannot ride the bus and also sign up to unload trucks at YHS.
Marching Band Portraits
Marching band portraits are still available at https://bit.ly/ymb-photos-23. Photos can be physical prints, digitals, or printed on merchandise! All proceeds from the sale of portraits or group photos will benefit the Yorktown Band Boosters.
Concert Band Fittings
Our students are hard at work preparing for concert season at Yorktown High School as well and part of that includes concert uniform fittings. Students will have an option for either a tuxedo or long dress. Fittings will take place soon during the school day so watch your inbox for any requests to help. Students opting for the tuxedo will need to supply a white tux shirt, black bowtie, black socks, and black shoes. Students opting for the dress will need to supply black dress shoes.
Don’t forget to share out the attached flier and go band!
