Hello Grade 6 Band Families,
It’s Optimist Festival
time!!! On Thursday, March 21st the Grade 6 band students will be performing
at the Optimist Band Festival at the Conexus Arts Centre. Please click here for a detailed itinerary.
Cost for this event is $7.00 and will be set up to pay
at School Cash Online. Our school
division prefers online payment, but if you have to turn in cash or cheque,
please label a sealed envelope. Cheques
should be made to your child’s school.
The Grade 6s will be on the main
stage for their performance at 2:55pm
where they will play two pieces for three adjudicators and an audience. Following
their performance, our band will have a clinic with one of the adjudicators, as
well as have a group photo taken. Your son/daughter also has the option to have
an individual or small group photo taken (please click here to access the picture order form). If you
choose to order pictures, please turn the order form/money in to us anytime
prior to the festival.
We would love for family and
friends, who are able, to come and listen to our performance and cheer us
on! If you are interested in helping out
as a chaperone, and hanging
out with us for that morning, leave your name and phone number at the bottom of
this sheet and have your son/daughter turn it in as soon as possible. An email is also ok. We would like to have
3-4 parents for each band along with us that day. You must have a Police
Information Check on file with your school in order to be a chaperone.
All students will need to bring
their instrument, music and be wearing their uniform (red band shirt, black pants/skirt, black socks,
black shoes).
Buses will pick up at schools
starting at 12:00 noon. Due to unavailability of buses until after the after
school runs, students will not arrive back at their schools until 4:45-5:00pm. Families will need to plan for a ride
home at this time. If you would rather pick up your child directly from
the Conexus Arts Centre at 4:15pm that is also an option – if you choose this
option please let us know via a note or email (robin.swann@rbe.sk.ca).
We will have opportunity to eat lunch at the Conexus prior to
their performance and pictures. Please
send a bagged, non-microwaveable lunch or send your student with money to
purchase lunch at the Conexus Arts Centre’s canteen.
***All students play an important
role in our band, therefore, everyone needs to be with us that day. Attendance can make or break our
performances***
Please contact us if you have any
questions or concerns!
