Dear Parents,

The students have been doing an excellent job in class to prepare their first concert of the year!    As our calendar stated that we passed out at the beginning of the year, the students will perform at the Winter Festival Concert on Saturday, December 10^th.  Call times and performance times are listed below.  Students are to arrive at Call Times dressed for performance when they exit the car.  A student is not on time for a Call Time unless they are in their seat with their instrument and music. 

All performances will be in the High School Auditorium.

Beginning Band -        Call time: 8:40 on the High School Auditorium Stage

(1^st and 5^th periods)  Performance time: 9:00 A.M.

Beginning Band -        Call time: 9:40 on the High School Auditorium Stage

(3rd period)                Performance time: 10:00 A.M.

Intermediate Band -   Call time: 10:40 on the High School Auditorium Stage

                                    Performance time:  11:00 A.M.

Advanced Band -        Call time: 11:40 on the High School Auditorium Stage

                                    Performance time: 12:00 P.M.

Dress for Beginning Band Performing Members:

Gentlemen:        Young men will wear dress pants, dress shoes, a button down shirt that buttons the entire way (not just a three button golf shirt), and a tie.  Any young man who is unable to tie a neck tie may bring it to the band room before school on Friday, December 9^th for assistance.

Young Ladies:   Young ladies will wear dresses, hose, and dress shoes. A skirt and blouse may only be worn with approval of a director prior to Wednesday, December 7^th.

Dress for Intermediate and Advanced Band Members:

Gentlemen:        Young men will wear tux shirts, pants, cummerbund, bow tie, and black shoes and black socks.

Young Ladies:   Young ladies will wear their performance dresses with black shoes. Only one stud earring per ear and one necklace will be allowed as jewelry.

As stated in the Procedures and Expectations given out at the beginning of the school year, if a student is late to Call Time or not dressed properly upon arrival, this will result in a marked deduction of their performance grade.

We hope you will make plans to attend all of the performances on Saturday, December 10^th.  The students have been doing a wonderful job in class to prepare this concert!

Sincerely,

Dr. Walker and Mrs. Wambles
