A PARENT EMAIL WITH VIDEO WILL BE SENT OUT THIS WEEK WITH UPDATED BAND INFORMATION

Jazz Band rehearsal after school on Friday 3:15pm-5:00pm (Alternates 3:15pm-4:15pm)

Region Band Help tomorrow after school 3:15pm-4:15pm for any student who wants help with their region band audition preparations.

York County Honor Band Auditions Have Been Cancelled for December 7th. There will be no make up. Please read email below.

Email sent to all York county band directors....

Good morning, 


Thank you to everyone who submitted registrations for the Honor Band program for this year! Unfortunately, after a great deal of consideration, we are going to have to cancel the honor band program for 2022. The participation took a significant hit compared to previous years - much larger than anticipated. In a typical year of Honor Band, we would have approximately 400-450 participants signed up to audition. This year, we’ve only received a total of 135 and have several schools who are unable to participate. These numbers just do not support us holding the clinic. For those of you who have already submitted your registrations and payments, I will have refunds sent out this week. 

Our hope is that collectively we can work together to bring this important program back next school year and continue to support the middle school bands in future years! Thank you all for your support of the Honor Band program through the years, and we wish each of you a joyful holiday season!

Congratulations to all the students who will be auditioning for a spot in the Region Band this year. If you need an instructor to prepare you for the audition please let me know.

The auditions are on January 8th at Woodruff HS.  Times will be given to students the closer we get to the event.  It is recommended that all students take lessons on their instrument.  There is a higher success rate for making the band if the students take one on one lessons. If you need information on how to get an instructor email Mr. Gibson.


Congratulations students!!
