Band Pageant Is on Wednesday Night, November 5 The Placentia-Yorba Linda Unified School District is pleased to invite the community to its 39th Annual Band Pageant, which will take place on Wednesday, November 5 at 7:00 p.m. at the district’s Bradford Stadium located at 500 N. Bradford Avenue in Placentia. The pageant will feature more than 1,200 students performing in bands, dance teams, color guards and identification units from all PYLUSD middle schools and comprehensive high schools. To open the event, each school unit will perform its competition march for spectators. The bands will then assemble on the field to salute our nation with the “Star Spangled Banner.” After intermission, the high schools perform their amazing field shows. The public is invited to attend. Pre-sale tickets are $5. They can be purchased through band members or band teachers. Tickets will also be available at the event for $6. Proceeds go to the music programs in the district. The Placentia-Yorba Linda Unified School District’s music programs have received numerous distinctions. In 2008 and 2010, the school district was recognized as one of America’s “Best Communities for Music Education,” a recognition presented by the National Association of Music Merchants (NAMM) Foundation, a nationwide group of music industry retailers, producers and distributors. In addition, El Dorado High School’s band marched in the 2005 and 2010 Tournament of Roses Parade. No other Orange County high school band had received the prestigious invitation up to that time in the parade’s history. Just like last year, three high school students were selected to be members of the 2015 Tournament of Roses Parade Honor Band. In addition, a Yorba Linda High School student will march as part of the Herald Trumpets, the trumpet players that precede the queen and her court. He was one of only five individuals selected from hundreds who auditioned. More than 9,000 students participate in the school district’s music programs. # # #
