PLAYATHON

We invite all NJYS musicians to participate in our annual Practice Minutes Challenge. Our goal is to log 150,000 minutes. That means that each musician needs to log at least 300 minutes (10 minutes a day) from Friday, February 14 through Friday, March 14, 2025 at 12 noon. Leaders will receive prizes each week!
