Spend loose change at band night

— Sierra Star/Lacey Rees

Greg Lanson, Yosemite High School band president and Jamie Burton watch as Aaron Schimmel pours money from a piggy bank into the hands of Jordan Harris. The band is encouraging everyone to collect all their spare change and come to the band’s fund-raiser at the Hitching Post on Wednesday, February 13.

 

AHWAHNEE — A spa­ghetti dinner and evening of games and entertainment for the whole family are in the plans for Yosemite High School band’s fund-raiser winter fund-raiser, “Two Bits for the Band.”

It will be held on Wednesday, February 13, at the Hitching Post, 42592 Highway 49, from 5 to 10 p.m.

Music will come from a classic-style juke box.

The band is trying to finance a trip to Disneyland for a music clinic in March.
