Students selected for 2011 NYS Lions Youth Band

Under the Direction of a NYS Lions Band Director, students are assembled into a Youth Band to perform at the annual NYS Convention which represents 17,000 Lions from 570 clubs in New York and Bermuda. The hand-picked group is expected to be a Band of 80-100. This year, the event will be in Rochester on April 28 through May 1.
