Final day of Fine Arts Week sends the festivities out with a bang

As we say goodbye to another amazing Fine Arts Week, the final day was jam packed with exciting performances for students to observe. Sketch Comedy returned to the York stage after their hiatus, guests came to visit the music department, and Advanced Dance and YDC danced up a storm in the dance studio.

While the weather may have less than pleasant, the festivities inside throughout the week, and especially on the last day, reminded students how lucky they were to go to a school that encourages and celebrates the arts.
