HOLIDAY GREENS SALE
It's almost that time of year again! The annual York Greens Sale is just around the corner. Every year, band, orchestra and choir students can earn money toward their future York music department travel expenses by selling fresh greens for the holidays. Check the YMB website starting September 27 for information.
This year's sale will be a great way for orchestra students to offset the costs of the trip to Orlando, planned for March 24 - 29. Students will perform at Disney World!
