Frequently Asked Questions:
What should my child wear for the concert?
White on top and black on bottom. We encourage students to look nice for the concert, so please have them wear dress clothes if possible.
Why does my child have to arrive at 6pm for the evening concerts?
The hour before the concert is used to tune instrument, get the students warmed up and ready to perform, and to get used to the sound of the Middle School stage before performing in front of an audience.
Who is performing at these concerts?
If your child is taking instrument lessons at school, they will be in these performances. If your child just started their instrument this year, they will perform with either the Beginner Strings Ensemble or the Beginner Band Ensemble. Those students who have been playing for a year or more will perform with the Band or Orchestra.
What do we do after the concert?
We have started a tradition of having an parent/guardian-run Ice Cream Social after the conclusion of the concert. Keep an eye on your email inbox for a "Signup Genius" Link to sign up to bring ice cream or other treats to share with our hard working young musicians.
Where are the concerts?
Daytime concerts will take place at your child's school, and even though this performance is for the school and staff, parents are welcome to attend.
The evening concerts will be held at the Middle School Auditorium, all family and friends are invited to attend.
