The All Star Youth Band (ASYB) is a non-profit youth organization that was established in September 1998. Although we are based Out of Lakewood, California, we have members from neighboring communities such as Artesia, Bellflower, Cerritos, Downey, Paramount, Long Beach and Nonvalk. ASYB is comprised or approximately 60 youth, ages 14-21, whIch include a marching band, identification banners, tall flags, drill team and a solo Majorette. We have a large parent/booster organization that is highly supportive.
Although we have been together for a very short time, we have competed in, and won first place awads for the Bellflower Liberty Parade and Laguna Beach Patriot's day Parade. We also won awards at the South Gate Christmas Parade ASYB has performed for various community functions such as the Naples Boat Parade, Cerritos College Homecoming Halftime and the City or Cerritos Youth Basketball Awards Night. Unfortunatdy, our scheduled performance for Special Olympics was rained out. ASYB is under the direction of multi-award winning directors, Betty Ryder and Yvonne Hibbing.
