PARENT INFORMATION

About the 2023 Dater School Winter Wonderland Concert

Since October, students have been preparing songs to perform for our holiday concert during our time in music class. During December, students will continue to  prepare a presentation for both the parents and for the opposite grade levels. Our goal in this concert is to join all student's voices, in each grade level, to create some joyful holiday moments together, and to learn more about vocal music performance along the way. 

Attire: What should my student wear for the concert?

All students should dress semi-casual in any combination in any number of the following colors: White, Gold, Red, or Cobalt Blue

Suggested Pieces: 

Top: Collared Button Down Shirt (any sleeve length), Polo, Sweater, or Blouse

Bottom:  Pants, Leggings, or Skirt (color: black, or one above the above colors)

Shoes: Darkest shoes available, or one of the colors listed above. Sneakers okay. 

Optional, Winter Accessories: Holiday Hats, Scarves, Etc. (but keep in mind that it will be relatively warm on stage, so do dress light)

If possible, please AVOID WEARING: T-Shirts, Sweatpants, Sweatshirts, Hoodies, or any shirts with large logos or team names.

Is participation in this concert mandatory?

Short answer, yes. We would like everyone involved however, this concert is not some sort of graded-participation for music class.  If your are traveling on 12/21 or, if you would like to discuss a modification for your student regarding the concert, please contact Mr. Bogert. jbogert@ramsey.k12.nj.us
