The 47th annual Placentia-Yorba Linda Unified School District (PYLUSD) Band Pageant took place on Wednesday, November 1, at Bradford Stadium in Placentia. Students from all six PYLUSD middle schools and all four PYLUSD comprehensive high schools joined together to perform both individually and cohesively in front of thousands of cheering loved ones, teachers, staff, school and district administrators, and community members.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Following a performance of parade marches from each color guard and band, PYLUSD Superintendent Dr. Alex Cherniss welcomed attendees and thanked everyone for their continued support of arts education and students\u2019 overall success.

\u201cAs your school district and educational partners, we recognize that learning in the arts is connected to a wide range of academic and social benefits for students. It helps them become well-rounded human beings and fosters positive experiences, leadership opportunities, and an overall pursuit of excellence,” Dr. Cherniss shared. “In addition to the hundreds of students you see before you, music instruction is also provided to over 4,000 students in grades 4, 5, and 6 across PYLUSD. We are deeply committed to the arts.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He mentioned the district’s plans to implement a new music program for all students in grades kindergarten through 3rd grade. He noted, “This means that almost every student in our district will have access to music instruction by a credentialed music educator.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Eric Samson, the band director at El Dorado High School, then led all ten bands on the field at once as they performed \u201cStar Spangled Banner\u201d and \u201cThis Is My Country\u201d together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Before a brief intermission and the individual field shows, the high school drumlines combined to showcase their rhythmic skills as one. The annual District Band Pageant was a wonderful evening filled with imaginative music, extraordinary talents, spectacular pageantry, and a ton of PYLUSD pride.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
