Our first concert of the year will be Thursday, December 15th at 7 p.m. in the Mabry Theater. This concert will showcase the hard work we’ve done so far this year.
The 6th grade will stay after school the day of the concert for a final run-through. We will have a pizza dinner following the rehearsal. Sixth graders must bring their concert clothes with them to school that morning!
IMPORTANT! In order to combine the two classes in 7th grade there will be an extra rehearsal. The 7th grade orchestra will rehearse from 7:45am until 8:50am on Tuesday, December 13th. Please enter the building from the bus parking lot and use the cafeteria hall doors. This is an important rehearsal that cannot be made-up as it is the only time to combine the classes that will be performing together in concert.
The evening of the concert the 7th and 8th grade orchestras should arrive at school no later than 6:30pm to tune and prepare for their performance. The 7th grade orchestra will meet in the orchestra room and the 8th grade orchestra will meet in the chorus room.
Cello and bass players may need to bring their own instruments. Please bring them on Tuesday morning the week of the concert.
Concert dress for 7th and 8th grade is our blue orchestra shirt and blue jeans without holes. For 6th graders it is solid black pants/slacks or LONG skirt and solid white top. Sport shoes are not appropriate attire. Students not dressed appropriately will not be allowed to take the stage.
We will need parent chaperones/helpers for the 6th grade pizza dinner at 5:30, and at 6:20 in the band, orchestra and chorus rooms, and also to sit with and actively monitor the groups seated in the theater before and after they have performed.
