Good morning everyone - The week of the Halloween Concert
is upon us and all of the students have been working extremely hard. I am sure
you will all be proud of the performance we have planned for you this week.
Below are a couple key reminders for both parents and students:
1. Student call-time is 5:45pm (Call time is when
rehearsal starts, students must arrive at school with enough time to adequately
set up their instrument and music and get seated before 5:45pm). With this
being our one and only combined rehearsal for 6th-8th grades, attendance is
very important!
2. Parents donating items for the bake sale can either
drop them off Thursday morning before school (feel free to send them in with
your child), or drop off before the student call time (5:45pm). Please make
sure that any homemade items for the bake sale contain a full list of
ingredients attached so that can be displayed at the bake sale.
3. Parent seating will begin at 6:55pm. The bake sale
will be open before the concert near the pit for parents waiting in line, and
will re-open after the concert has concluded. Judging by the Halloween concerts
in the past, we would suggest parents to come early as seating will be first
come first serve.
4. Student costumes must be family/school friendly.
Please stay away from excessive forms of blood or gore. Any accessories in the
form of fake weapons must stay at home, and proper skirt/dress length for girls
to sit properly to play their instrument. Younger brother and sisters attending
the concert are encouraged to dress up as well!!!
Would like to give a huge shout-out in advance for
everyone that has played a role in the design/set-up/logistics etc... for the
concert. Dr. Jones, Mrs. Menkin, the MRMS Custodial Staff, Dawn Ballway,
Claudia Sandoval, Julie Sandoval, Julia Tucker just to name a few!
Feel free stick around after the conclusion for the
concert, many hands included in the clean up makes everything move quickly!
Any questions, please contact us this week. We are certainly looking forward to a great evening of music from all of our hard working band students.
