How does YMB help the Performing Arts students, teachers and programs at York?
Grants, scholarships and private lessons for students to pursue opportunities in the performing arts
Year-end award programs to honor exemplary students in the performing arts
The hosting of concert receptions
Support for York's one-of-a-kind Fine Arts Week and the York Album Project
Help for students to offset the costs of school-sponsored travel, including by organizing fundraisers such as the traditional Holiday Greens Sale and Lou Malnati's Pizza Sale
During the 2023-2024 school year, for example, YMB organized three fundraisers that deposited thousands of dollars into individual student escrow accounts. It also defrayed costs for students who took part in the band trip to Orlando, including special assistance for those in need.
Partner with District 205 on projects to improve the performing arts experience at York High School.
Most recently, YMB reached its "Dream Grand" goal (with Elmhurst Music Boosters), raising $22,000 to help bring a concert-worthy piano to the York auditorium.
YMB looks forward to carrying on this tradition, but these successes are only possible with your membership, donations and help.
YMB's Greens Sale for students runs through October 17
York High School's Performing Arts students sell beautiful, high-quality holiday wreaths and centerpieces delivered just in time for the holiday season. Profits are held in individual student escrow accounts and used to defray the costs of future school-based trips and travel. That's the beauty of the tradition of York Music Boosters' Holiday Greens Sale. The 2024 Holiday Greens Sale will run from September 17 to October 17.
