Silverado Middle School Performing Arts
Welcome to Band!
Please make sure that you purchase your tickets for the RiverCats performance soon. If your student cannot attend, please send me an email so that I can make a note of which of our students need alternative assignments. Please use the attached link to purchase tickets. We are required to sell a certain amount in order to participate in future events. If you want to sit in a section not listed on the ticket sales, let me know and I will put you in contact with my sales rep. He can help you get different seats.
Students will have 2 mandatory after school practices where we will put together all 200+ SMS band students together. These are the only chances we will have to rehearse all together, so please make sure your student is in attendance. These two practices are on Thursday 5/9 and 5/16 and will go from 2:15pm-3:15pm.
Students will wear their band uniform: blue band shirt, black pants, black socks, black shoes to the game.
If you are unable to afford tickets to this performance please let me know. Every family should be able to attend this event regardless of finances.
Please email me with any questions or concerns.
