Good morning SYCB members!

Thank you for a FANTASTIC performance Tuesday night! We are so proud of your hard work and dedication this semester in preparing a demanding program in a short amount of time. Congratulations!

Looking ahead, our first rehearsal back will be on Tuesday, January 3, 2023 from 6:00-8:30pm. Students auditioning for the Senior Solo will do so on Tuesday, January 10, beginning at 8:00pm. A reminder that solos need to have a band accompaniment available for the band to perform. Students may, use a piano accompanist for the audition. Please let us know if you have any questions regarding the senior solo.

Lastly, if you know of any students who would be interested in joining the SYCB for the Spring semester, we would love to have them. Please have them send an email to sycb@stambaughauditorium.com. They will need to audition on January 3rd before the first rehearsal.

There is an exciting Spring semester planned, with great music. We hope that you all have a great holiday season! See you in 2023.
