How to Join the YPMB - Fall 2025

Musically, all members should be able to work up and play our two fight songs, “Down the Field” and “Entrance Medley” on their instruments. Pick a part (PDFs below) that fits your range, technical skills, and a tempo that fits your abilities.

Please record yourself playing both pieces and email a YouTube video link to Stephanie Hubbard by Thursday, August 28 at 5:00 p.m (subject line:  “My YouTube Recording-YPMB fight songs Fall 2025”). Your section leader will assign your parts based on your level of preparation.

Don’t own an instrument? Never fear, we have some available to lend during the school year. If you need one, please email Stephanie Hubbard and make arrangements to sign one out from her during the opening days or first week of school.

If you have any questions or concerns about where you would fit in this ensemble, please reach out to Shell Ross (Drum Major) or Kate Hall (Manager).
