As we all know, the departure of our long loving band director Mr.B saddened many of our Don Lugo staff and students.

Thankfully, we are relieved and pleased to have welcomed our new band director Mr.Yanik, who had previously taught at Chaffey High School for 13 years. Mr. B left pretty big shoes to fill being that he had been apart of the Don Lugo staff for a very long time, so quite a number of people were concerned about how a new band director would continue that legacy. ”

He ran a very successful program here, and now I’m able to step in and continue that tradition of excellence,” expressed Mr.Yanik. As for the future of the Don Lugo band program, we can all expect a lot more excitement and progress all together. Mr. Yanik shared, “My goal within the next 3 or 4 years is to have Don Lugo be a DBA finalist.” This fun spirited band director will hopefully help give our school’s band a modern, brighter look and bring a positive aspect to our school overall.
