Winter Band Concert

The band will have a concert on December 5th, 2023 at 7:30 PM in the Auditorium.

Here is some information regarding the concert:

Entry and Procedures

• Students should enter through door 24A near the trailers.
• Symphonic Band members should get their instruments and music and head directly to the auditorium by 6:45 PM when attendance is taken.
• Wind Ensemble students should report to the band room for attendance and to warm up.
• Any Wind Ensemble students needing a jacket can get one from the uniform closet, but must return it at the end of the concert.
• Wind Ensemble members should exit the band room at 7:20 PM and will sit in the top section to the right (when looking from the stage) of the light and sound booth.
• The Symphonic Band will perform their music at 7:30 PM. After they play their pieces, students will exit the stage. As the Symphonic Band exits, Wind Ensemble members should begin to walk to the stage and prepare for their performance. This opens the seating area up for Symphonic Band members to sit, or you may sit with your families after your performance.
• All students are expected to remain for the entire concert. This includes Symphonic Band members so that the Wind Ensemble can have the same audience experience you did.

Audience Members

• There are two ensembles performing: the Symphonic Band and the Wind Ensemble. The Symphonic Band is a combined band encompassing three different classes (9th Grade Brass, 9th Grade Woodwinds and Percussion, and the Symphonic Band that meets during 3rd Block on B Days.
• Audience members may enter through door 24A and walk around to the auditorium entrance near the Commons area, or they may enter through Roy's Alley. I will ask the custodial staff to open the doors to Roy's Alley at 6:15 PM. 
• Programs will be available in an online format. There will be QR codes on music stands as you enter the auditorium as well as in the band room (for students) on the TV. You may view the program by going to this link:
