On Thursday, May 25th we will present our annual Spring Concert in the gym at Eich. The concert will begin at 7pm and will feature our Bands, Guitar Ensemble, and the Ballroom Dance program. The concert is free to attend so please invite all of your family and friends!
All Band and and Guitar musicians are expected to attend the concert. We rehearse together every day and come to depend on the sound of every musician. It is very important that musicians have the opportunity to perform the same way we have been rehearsing.
The event itself is not graded, however, students will be completing a summative reflection paper after the concert.
I am asking students to wear all black for the performance
- Advanced Band and Guitar: Wear your Disneyland performance clothes
- Intermediate Band: wear your festival clothes (Music T-shirt or black T-shirt, with nice jeans or pants)
The concert is free to attend but we will accept donations at the door and will offer the option to reserve seats for $10 each. This is optional. Order forms will be sent via email on Friday, December 2nd.
