The Central York Middle School (CYMS) Fife & Drum Corps was a wonderful part of our program at our meeting on Monday, May 13.  This talented group of CYMS 7th and 8th grade musicians comprise one of the only fife and drum corps in America that is part of a public school music program.  In addition to their performing, they also educated us on the role of fifes and drums, the training that corps members underwent and the commands the drum major signaled with their mace.  You can read more about the CYMS Fife & Drum Corps at: centralyork.revtrak.net/fife-and-drum/#/list

Former Governor Tom Wolf was the guest speaker at our meeting.  He spoke of the relevance of education, its impact on the betterment of our society and efforts during his tenure to increase educational funding in the Commonwealth.
