Concert Information
Our Spring Concert will take place on Wednesday, May 20th
The concert will start at 6:30pm.
Call time for students is 6:15pm (this means students should arrive before 6:15 to get set up).
The concert will include performances by the Orchestra, Band, & Chorus, and should last a little over one hour. Students and audience should please plan to stay for the whole concert.
Students should dress in nice clothes for the concert, there is no specific uniform but please dress as formally as possible.
Students MUST be accompanied by a responsible adult for the duration of the concert. DO NOT just drop your kids off and pick them up after the concert! Thank you!
Participation in the concert counts as a significant part of instrumental music grade. If a student will not be at the concert (for a good reason!) an excuse note or email must be sent to Mr. FitzGerald, otherwise any student missing the concert will be counted as unexcused.
