IT'S CONCERT TIME!
The spring band and choral concert is just around the corner and is scheduled for April 19th at 7:00 p.m. This concert is a tribute to music in movies and tv and will feature band and choral students in grades 4-12. Prior to the concert, please walk the halls and see the wonderful displays of artwork that students worked on throughout the year. Performers are asked to meet in the music room at 6:30 p.m. and to wear dress slacks or skirts and our green music polo shirts. Students who need to borrow a music polo shirt need to pick one up on April 17th and return the borrowed polo shirt on April 20th after it has been washed and dried.
There is also a spring fling concert for choral students in grades 4-8 on April 16th at 2:00 p.m. I encourage you to attend and lend support to our younger performers. Light refreshments will be served after this program.
Finally, please feel free to invite family, friends, neighbors, church members, and anyone else you think would enjoy these concerts.
