Spring Band and Chorus Concert- Tuesday, May 8th at 6:30 PM
We are very excited to present our final concert of the year next Tuesday, May 8th at 6:30 P.M. It is important to remember that we are also performing for the school that same day at 2:30. Therefore, the students need to bring their instruments, music, and music stands to school that morning!
For the evening performance, students should arrive in the cafeteria/small gym room at 6:00 p.m. Students who are in both band and chorus will set up their band instruments and warm-up with us. They will then go to the music room at 6:20 to prepare for chorus. They will give their instrument to another band member to bring to the gym for them. The choruses will perform at 6:30 P.M. and the band will perform after.
After-school band next week
We will be having our final after-school band practice next Tuesday before the concert. Since the gym will be set up already, we will be having after-school band practice at Schiesher next week, not at the high school. Bus transportation home will still be available, but we recommend picking your child up if possible since they have to be back at 6:00 for the concert. Again, please make note that rehearsal will be at Schiesher next Tuesday.
Scholarships
Any students who would like money to take lessons on their instrument over the summer are still welcome to apply. This literally is free money that we are looking to give away to any student who is interested. Please encourage your child to take 2 minutes to fill out the simple application. I have attached another one below.
Next Year
You should have received a letter in the mail about junior high band next year. I am thrilled to be moving to the junior high next year on a full time basis, and I look forward to continuing our musical journey with these students. If you have any questions about band at the junior high, please do not hesitate to contact me.
