Pre-Festival Concert - Monday, March 5 @ 7:00 PM

posted Feb 28, 2012 9:57 PM by Jeff Techau

Please join the Arroyo Grande Wind Ensemble and the Lucia Mar Middle School bands for the Pre-Festival Concert on Monday, March 5 at 7:00 PM. Tickets are $5.

Since Arroyo Grande High School and Nipomo High School are not participating in the Festival this year due to a conflict with the state high school exit exam, we were not going to perform at the Pre-Festival concert. The Middle School Directors have asked for a high school band to play so that the middle school students have the opportunity to hear them. As a result, the Arroyo Grande Wind Ensemble will perform at the Pre-Festival Concert. The Arroyo Grande Concert Band is expected to attend to support the middle school bands and the Wind Ensemble.

It will be a wonderful night of music. Please join us and support music in the Lucia Mar Unified School District.

The Central Coast Classic committee is finalizing our volunteer sign ups and will be sending out e-mails and making phone calls for those of you that signed up to help.  If you didn't sign up to volunteer, it's not too late to offer a helping hand.  Please contact us and we'll find a job that will work for you and your schedule.

Also, we encourage you to attend and invite your friends, family, neighbors, co-workers, etc.  The more in attendance the more funds the show will generate and the more our community will see the importance of music in our schools.  Please view the attached flier and forward it to all those in your address book that would enjoy watching local high school bands.
