Become a GTCYS Ambassador at your school! I have enjoyed having students in my own band and orchestra position advocate and celebrate GTCYS with their peers. There is no better way to convince someone to join GTCYS than to hear it from you! Sign-ups close on 1/30 so act fast!

Thank you for all of your work; see you soon!

Best wishes,
Zane
