Welcome Back
WOW is it cold. I hope you are all keeping warm and that you are having a wonderful start to 2014.
The bands all revved up and ready to roll out our love of music at our concert coming up on the 20th.
Here's some information to get everyone up to speed on the concert:
1) Band concert is on the 20th at 7:00 p.m. in our gym.
2) Students are to be here by 6:00 p.m.
3) Uniform is a must to perform - for more information on uniform click here
4) Students must be present at the rehearsal before a concert in order to perform with us on the 20th. This dress-rehearsal will take place on the 20th in the gym.
5) All students are required to stay for the WHOLE concert (and that includes clean-up - many hands make light work).
6) Nope.... we are not joking... bring your own chair and put it where ever you like. Doors open at 3:30 p.m. on the 20th. If you do not wish to bring a chair there is loads of great seating in the balcony.
7) If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me.
