  • We are "dreaming grand" at YMB with the launch of a joint fundraising project with Elmhurst Music Boosters. Our goal is to help raise funds for a new professional, concert-worthy piano in the York auditorium. The current piano is more than 100 years old and considered well past its usable life and beyond repair. Click here to learn more.
  • Make plans to attend an upcoming show featuring our talented York performing arts students. The full schedule for the 2022-23 school year is available here. You also can view videos of the outstanding performances by York's choirbandorchestra and dance student that helped close out the 2022 calendar year on a high note.
