Holiday Band and Chorus Concert- Wednesday, December 21st
The fifth grade band will present their first concert next week on Wednesday, December 21st at 6:30 p.m. in the Schiesher Elementary Large Gym! Students should plan to arrive in the small gym/cafeteria at 6:00 pm.
Band students are asked to wear “dress clothes” for the performance. Try to avoid jeans, sweats, and gym shoes. Seasonal colors are encouraged! Students can certainly wear Santa hats or other similar fun attire if they wish. There will be a prize for best costume!
In addition to our evening concert, we will be playing a short program for the school the morning of the 21st at 2:00 PM. All students must bring their instruments and folding music stands to school with them that day. Please make sure that your child’s name is clearly marked on their music stand so it does not accidentally get taken.
Agenda for the concert night
6:15 PM- Warm-up in small gym (chorus students will set up their instrument, give it to a friend to carry for them, and head down to the chorus room at this time)
