Final Concert Dates

We're down to our final four weeks of what has been quite a successful school year.  The purpose of this update is to go over all final band and strings events of the school year.  Find the paragraph that applies to your student's group for more information.

Fritsch Elementary School Visit: May 7
Fritsch Elementary School's band will visit the Concert Band in the morning and we will perform for each other.  This type of event goes far in recruiting members and it eases anxiety that comes from transitioning from elementary school to middle school.

Spring Band Trip: May 8-11
Spring trip participants: please see your email for all reminders.  I hope we're all as excited as I am!

Concert and Beginning Band Concert: May 14, 5:30 PM
The spring concert for these groups will be in the CMS cafeteria.  Call time for all students is 5:00 PM in full concert dress.  We will also have a bake sale fundraiser and give out awards for exemplary work throughout the entire school year.  Think about what you'd like to bring and I'll give you more information this weekend.

String Orchestra Concert: May 14, 7:00 PM
The spring concert for the orchestra will be in the EVMS gym. Call time for strings students will be 6:45 PM in full concert dress with instrument and music.  This concert will also feature the EVMS orchestra and the Carson High School Strings.  The concert will end with a world premiere performance that will feature the musicians from all three schools.  Be there or be square!

Intermediate and Advanced Band Concert: May 20, 6:00 PM
The spring concert for these groups will be at the Governor's Mansion.  Call time for all students is 5:30 PM in full concert dress with instrument and music.  We will also have a bake sale fundraiser and give out awards for exemplary work throughout the entire school year.  This will be a "concert on the green" so provide your own chairs/blankets and hope for really good weather.  I'll give you more information this weekend.
