Dear Music Supporters,
The music room has been very busy preparing for the Spring Festival of the Arts. Over three hundred students have been enthusiastically attending rehearsals before, during and alter school for the past few months. We can hardly wait to share our musical talents. The details for our upcoming concert schedule are as follows:

The 1st part of the concert will be run until 10:00 a.m. (end of Period 2) After the usual 1st nutrition break, the remainder of the concert will be run.

Spring Festival of the Arts7:00 p.m |
Musicians are to arrive no later than 6:40 p.m. wearing the Tuxedo shirt and black bottoms. Look for signs in the front foyer outlining the warm up rooms for the various ensembles. There is no need for students to use any devices as groups warm up, so the expectation is that these items remain in a locker. The concert will conclude at approximately 8:30 p.m. The Tuxedo shirts are to be returned before students leave for the evening. |
