THE KCYB WEBSITE. (KCYB.org)

Please remember: You MUST PASS the above requirements to be in the Symphonic Band. Be aware
that your past participation in the Symphonic Band does not automatically provide you a spot in this 
band. We have many students in the Concert Band who would like to be in the SB and want to "bump"
even veteran SB members if necessary. SO...if you want to retain your seat, prepare early, and be 
ready to earn your spot! There is not a current SB member who cannot do this. It's up to you!! 
See you at the TOP!
