Band Notes for 12/9/2017

Dear Parents,

I hope you’re as excited as I am about our evening of music on Monday, December 11th.  The kids are eager to show you what they’ve worked on, and I know you’ll be proud of their hard work.

Please see below for a few concert reminders:

What

Skyridge MS Band concert

Where

Camas High School Theatre

When

Students arrive at 6:30 p.m.

6th Grade Band meets in the CHS Band Room.  They will also store their cases there.

7th Grade Band meets in the CHS Choir Room.  They will also store their cases there.

8th Grade Band meets in the Green Room (just behind the CHS Theatre Stage).  They will also store their cases there.

Concert begins at 7 p.m.

What to bring

Instrument and music. 

Students who are using a school instrument are responsible for transporting it to and from the concert. 

Bass guitar players should bring a patch cord. 

Percussionists should bring their sticks and mallets. 

Concert dress

Please see band website for details. 

Checking in
There will be an attendance sheet in each group’s case storage area.  In order to receive credit, students will need to check themselves off once they get there.  Remember, students are asked to stay for the entirety of the concert. 

Seating in the CHS Theatre
Students will have a clearly marked off section to sit in.  We ask that students sit there for the entirety of the concert.   Students are expected to be quiet, attentive audience members when they are not playing.  Concert credit will be reduced if students are being a distraction to other audience members and/or other band members.

After the concert

7th Graders are asked to help move chairs and stands back to the Band Room.

8th Graders are asked to help move percussion equipment back to the Band Room. 

This will only take a few short minutes with everyone’s help!

I hope parents will take a few moments to come say hello after the concert.  I always enjoy visiting with families!

I hope you have a great rest of the weekend.  Stay warm, and we’ll see you Monday!
