🎶 Yulee High School students in the Marching Sound of One put in over 85 hours of work during band camp to prepare for their upcoming season. Many students are sporting new instruments that were purchased thanks to the One Mill.

After camp, the YHS gym was packed with band families as students proudly showed off what they had learned after hours of hard work. While they’re learning a lot about music, they’re also building important life skills like time management, personal responsibility, work ethic, and resiliency.

Yulee High is proud to showcase this season as a state-finalist band program.
