Again this year, the First Nighters will honor our Performing Arts Seniors by hosting a photo session with Bob Castner. Please save the date of Saturday, May 22nd. Each session will be 15 minutes and take place outside YHS.

Pictures will be available for viewing and purchase on Bob Castner’s website, and each senior will be highlighted on Twitter. Band students, please wear concert black for your photo, hold your instrument, and wear your senior pin (which Ms. Kluga will give to you soon).  

Be on the lookout for an e-mail from the First Nighters later this week on how to sign up for a time. We are so grateful to this parent group for all their support, especially for our awesome senior class!

Free! Learn from the Hartwick Music Dept Faculty! Each day will feature warm ups, masterclasses, breakout rooms by instrument, and panel discussions. More details about the events are attached.
