The Youth Euphonium and Tuba Ensemble (YETE) was started in 2011 and is composed of junior high and high school euphonium and tuba players from the greater Southeast Michigan area. The program runs yearly from September-May and rehearses on Sundays from 12:00 - 2:00 PM in the Stearns Building, room 201, located on the University of Michigan North Campus. Each semester culminates with performances.
The educational goals of this initiative are to strengthen students' overall musicianship, to introduce students to new repertoire, and to participate in collaborative music making with a diverse group of students from across Michigan.
