Ithaca Youth Bureau SUMMER BAND & ORCHESTRA

Hello TMS band students! Please consider participating in the wonderful Ithaca Youth Bureau Summer Band & Orchestra Program. The program takes place at Lincoln Hall on the Cornell campus with the band program led by Michael Allen and the orchestra program led by Mark Lewis! Both of these fine educators teach music at Boynton Middle School in Ithaca.

The Summer Band and Orchestra meet on Tuesdays and Thursday evenings beginning this year on Thursday, June 27. The ensembles meets ten times (no rehearsal on July 4), culminating with a final concert on Thursday, August 1.

You can register in person at the Ithaca Youth Bureau or online.

Students who play a string instrument and a band instrument can (and should) play in both band and orchestra groups. The schedule is purposely set up so those students can do both.

If you're going to be in town in July, please consider joining the program. If you have to miss a portion due to family vacation or what not, you may still participate! Don't let that deter you from registering!

The program is only $55 for Ithaca City residents and $75 for non-residents.

Scholarships are available!
