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!
