Upcoming Band Concert
Our first full elementary band concert is scheduled for Wednesday, January 25th at 7:00 P.M in the Fraser High School gym. Students must be in the gym with their equipment set up by 6:30 P.M. for a group warm-up before the concert. For attire, please have your students wear a white top, black bottoms, and black shoes.
Prior to the concert, please make sure your student has everything they need: instrument, book, stand, new reeds, etc. so that rehearsals can go smoothly. If you need help getting any of the necessary equipment, please don't hesitate to reach out--I am more than happy to help.
If you have any questions or need anything from me, please let me know. I'm looking forward to our first full performance of the year. Have a great day!
Thanks,
