IB Night is for our future Eich families. It is an "open house" style event for the community. We will be performing as people move between the information sessions.

This is a "drop and go" event for parents. Do not plan on staying for this event.

Pizza will be provided for musicians at 5:30pm

The event ends at 8:00pm. Our pick up time is 7:20pm so that you can beat the rush out of the parking lot!

The event is for Advanced Band only

This is our Spring event with the Oakmont Band. We will be performing our festival music as well as combined pieces with the Oakmont High School Concert Band. This is a chance for our Eich musicians to get to know the high school director, Mr. Elmore, and experience the Oakmont program.

Saturday, March 8th: Golden Empire Music Festival @ American River College
Advanced and Intermediate Bands

Both bands will be performing, separately, at the Golden Empire Music Festival at American River College. This is our most important performance of the year! We will be playing for adjudicators (judges) who will evaluate and rate our performance. It is so important that everyone attend. We rehearse and prepare all together and expect to perform together as well. Please make every attempt to arrange for your musician to be at this performance. 

The festival is held at American River College. We will meet outside the "Fine and Performing Arts" building. 
There will be a small fee to park in the college parking lot. I believe it is $2.00.
I suggest you park in the lot on the corner of College Oak and Myrtle.

The performance is free to watch. Parents should plan on staying for the event and supporting us in the audience. Parents will not be allowed in the warm up room before or the clinic after our performance time. You will be able to meet your student again after we take our group photo.

After our clinic the band will take a formal picture. You will be able to purchase a copy if you would like one.
Order Form (forms will be available at the event)

Each band has it's own schedule below. Musicians are encouraged to watch the other band perform but it is not required. There will be bands performing throughout the day. It is always fun to watch and hear what other schools are playing.
