YMLA BAND

Thank you YMLA BAND COMMUNITY for a great 3 years. It was an honor working in a great band community. May you carry on the winning traditions you established in your first 3 years.

Remember to carry yourself with pride and Never leave the WHAT IF as you prepare for anything in life. So no matter the outcome you can tell yourself you prepared for the best and did not leave the door open for the what if.

May the rest of your musical journey be blessed with amazing success and all of your dreams and wishes come true.

Love and Respect

Mr.G

The boys rearranged their trophies 🏆 yesterday and are very proud of what they have done over the last 3 years.

Mr.G would like to take a moment and thank everyone for a great year but even more so, the past 3 years. Today was a testament to the dedication parents have for their YMLA Band students.

Having the support and extra eyes and hands made today run very smoothly. The awards are just the cherry on top of the great YMLA Band Community that has been created. We are officially done with competition season and will submit our recordings from today to TMEA HONOR BAND and TMEA spotlight Invitational performance for 2025 February.

We have one more public performance and that is graduation June 2, 2024. Details to come soon as Mr.G has graduation practice on Monday afternoon. Summer Band schedule will be coming out soon as well.

Thank you once again YMLA BAND PARENTS, STUDENTS AND COMMUNITY for a great band year.

Honored to be part of a strong band community.
