COLLEGE PARK YOUTH BAND 2024-25
The College Park Youth Band (CPYB) is now accepting musicians for the 2024-25 school year. CPYB is for students who have been playing for at least 2 years on their instrument. Instruments are not provided; children are expected to have their own instruments to participate in the ensemble.
You can register here or read below for more details.
CPYB was founded in 2017 to help young band players in grades 6 through 8 to develop their reading and listening skills as well as introduce them to the joys of playing in an ensemble. Band music is chosen to introduce new skills and musical challenges to the players. The CPYO is a program of the College Park Arts Exchange.
