Mandarins Trophy Lobby and Band Room Dedication

Thanks to a generous donation from Jimmie & Mary Yee and Family, the Mandarins Event Center’s Trophy Lobby and Band Room was dedicated in their honor on February 10, 2024.

Jimmie became involved with the Mandarins drum corps (formerly Ye Wah) during its formation in 1963, when his oldest daughter joined the corps in the banner/baton, and snare drum sections.

Jimmie and his family have been avid supporters of the Mandarins for decades.
