Concert - December 12

Dear Parents,

Just a few more days before the long anticipated winter concert, set to begin on Thursday at 6:30 PM in the Community Center!  Before I say anything else, let me remind everybody that there is no longer a dress rehearsal on the morning of 12/12.  Students should go to school on Thursday morning like it's any other day. 

Everything else will go ahead as planned at the following times:

5:00 PM: Earliest time to drop off bake sale items.
5:30 PM: Bake sale and setup volunteers (including any students who want to help) report.
6:00 PM: Call time for Beginning Band, Concert Band, and Strings, in concert dress.
6:30 PM: Call time for Intermediate Band and Advanced Band, in concert dress.
6:30 PM: Concert begins with performances from Beginning Band, Concert Band, and Strings.
7:30 PM: INTERMISSION
7:40 PM: Concert continues with performances from Intermediate Band, Advanced Band, and Jazz Band.
8:30 PM: Concert ends.

ALL STUDENTS: attendance for entire concert is mandatory.  You need to stay for the entire concert and support all your fellow performers.

Concert Dress
Advanced Band and Intermediate Band: Same thing as what they wear at the parade.
Concert Band and Strings: White tuxedo shirt, cummerbund, bow tie, BLACK pants, shoes, and socks. 
Beginning Band: Blue SSA polo plus BLACK pants, shoes, and socks.
*Santa, reindeer, or elf hats are optional.

All you parents are incredible!  What would we do without you???

Practice sheets are due Tuesday!  Please have all students in all classes review and go over all music for the concert so they are as prepared as possible.
