Centerpoint Church: Sunday, December 10th  

Date: Sunday, December 10th 
Time: 9:15am-10:30am (Performance begins at 9:50am)
Location: Centerpoint Church, 515 Sunrise Avenue, Roseville, CA 95661 MAP
Attire: Holiday! Wear your ugly sweater, cute sweater, warm sweater. Add a Santa hat or elf ears. Bonus points if you decorate your instrument with ornaments and/or lights.

We have been asked to perform at a special event on Sunday, December 10th. The Centerpoint Church recently made a donation to help fund our campus Kindness Center. In return, Mr. Brown has asked that we perform a "Thank you" concert, along with the Ballroom Dance program. 
We will perform at the church from 10:00-10:30am, in between their regular services. After the performance, families are invited to stay for breakfast and snacks if you would like.   

This is an optional performance opportunity and a chance for us to make community connections. The more musicians we have, the better we sound!  



Winter Concert: Wednesday, December 13th

Date: Wednesday, December 13th
Location: Eich Gym
Call Time for Musicians: 6:40pm in the music room
Concert Start Time: 7:00pm (Doors to the gym will open at 6:40pm for the audience)
Attire: "Holiday Best" or Disneyland All Black

On Wednesday, December 13th we will present our annual Winter 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 their "holiday best" for the performance OR your Disneyland attire if you have it already. 
  • "Holiday Best" means collared shirt or blouse, slacks or skirts, and nice shoes. Any color is fine. Holiday themed sweaters are acceptable as long as they are school appropriate.
  • The Disneyland attire is all black: Slacks or ankle length skirt and a long-sleeve button up shirt with black shoes and socks (Disneyland will not accept jeans or leggings or open toed shoes)
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 1st. 



School Performances: Assembly and Jingle Bell Run

We will be presenting our Winter Concert to the Eich student body at an assembly on the 14th. Wear your blue Eich Music shirt! 

We have also been asked to perform for the annual Jingle Bell Run during lunch on the 20th. Wear your holiday spiritwear!



Disneyland December Donation

If your band student is attending the Disneyland trip, we are asking that your second  $100 donation be turned in this week, by Wednesday, December 20th. All donations are credited to the individual student.
You may pay by cash or check. Credit cards will be accepted soon but we aren't quite ready yet. 
Checks may be made payable to "RCSD"
Cash should be in an envelope with the student's name on the front. I will issue a receipt for all cash.
