The annual Holiday Band Concert, showcasing the cadet, concert and symphonic bands, as well as two percussion ensembles, took place Thursday evening in the auditorium. Before the bands took to the stage to showcase their hard work to friends and family, York-hi stopped by the band room for a behind the scenes look at the pre-show excitement and to ask students about their favorite part of the holiday concert.
