2023 Back to School Night

Welcome to the Savage Instrumental Music Program.  We are up and running. Instruments and music have been passed out, and we have begun rehearsals in the largest Middle School rehearsal room in the county!

I am looking forward to another great year continuing the Savage Music Program’s Tradition of Excellence.

Class/Rehearsal Expectations:

-Students need to be at school/rehearsal (students can’t learn if they aren’t here)

-Students must have their instrument in class.

-Students must have their music book/3-ring music binder in class.

Performance Expectations:

-Students are expected to attend all performances for their ensemble(s)

-Students will have their instrument and music ready to perform.

-Students will wear proper uniforms to all performances.

-All students help “tear-down/pack up” after all performances.

7/8 Grade Uniforms- Students will need black dress pants/skirts (no denim).  Ladies who wish to wear skirts must also wear black leggings/tights underneath.  Skirts must be below the knee or longer.  Students will need black dress shoes with black socks.  Ladies may wear open toed shoes with black tights/stockings underneath.  For ladies I would suggest a flat shoe over high-heels.  All students will wear white tuxedo shirts.  The performance polo shirts cost will be approximately $20. 

6th Grade Concert Dress- Students will wear white collared shirts and black or dark blue pants, ladies may wear white and/or black dresses.
