We are thrilled to extend an invitation to you for a memorable evening of musical expression at our EMS Concert Band (7th and 8th grade bands) and the GBHS Wind Ensemble Winter Concert. Our venue will come alive with the sounds of the season, performed with passion and precision by our dedicated student musicians.

This concert is not only a culmination of our student's hard work and dedication but also a celebration of the vibrant spirit of music that thrives within our community. From the harmonious blend of our ensemble pieces to the individual flair of solo performances, the night promises a range of pieces that will enchant and inspire.

Our performers have polished every note in anticipation of sharing this special night with an audience that appreciates the transformative power of music. Your presence would be the most encouraging applause, the silent note that completes our symphony.

Join us in fostering a true concert atmosphere, where every melody speaks and the collective harmony resonates with the joy of the season. We look forward to sharing this musical journey with you.

We understand the importance of being environmentally conscious and efficient with our resources. To align with these values, while still providing you with comprehensive information about our concerts, we will be offering a concise one-page printed program at the venue. Additionally, we will email you an enriched digital version of the program on the day of the event for your convenience. This approach allows us to share more with you while conserving paper. Thank you for supporting our eco-friendly initiatives.
