STRIKE UP THE BAND SPRING FESTIVAL INFORMATION
This is your son or daughterÕs opportunity to play in a large concert band, and is a mandatory requirement to pass the program curriculum.
The concert will be held at:
Students will need their instrument and concert book. Also Bring a folding music stand if you have one. Students can also borrow one from me at band on Thursday, but it is their responsibility to return it to band on the following week. Please make sure that studentÕs instruments and equipment have a name tag on them. If your student is a drummer, label each item. (bells, mallets, sticks, etc.)
Please do not purchase new clothes unless you care to, but we do like to see the concert bands dressed dressed up in their ÒSunday BestÓ.
All Students will be in a closed rehearsal at 6:15. Parents are not allowed in the preliminary rehearsals. Doors will open for the concert at 7:20 and the concert will begin at 7:30.
