Our winter concerts will be held on Wednesday, December
11 at Martin Collegiate!!
Due to the growth in our band program, there will be two concerts in one
evening!!
- Grade 6s from Buck & Rosemont, all Grade 7s and Junior Jazz band are part of the 6:00pm concert (students please arrive at 5:30pm for warm-up).
- Grade 6s from McLurg & Walker, all Grade 8s, and Senior Jazz band are part of the 7:30pm concert (students please arrive at 7:00pm for warm-up).
Uniform:
students should be dressed in uniform, with their red shirts (coming soon),
black pants/skirts, black socks and black shoes. If your student does not have
their red band shirt yet it is because they are still on order. They will be
handed out at a full band rehearsal pre-concert time.
Bakesale
Fundraiser: at the concert, we will be having our traditional bake sale fundraiser in the front
lobby. Please bring one dozen of your favorite treats on a tray/plate
that you don’t need back (no nuts please!). All baking will be sold for
$5.00 per dozen. Parents and students can drop their baking at the table
in the front lobby upon arrival to the concert.
We hope to see all of you at our first performance of the
year!
Attendance:
attendance at concerts is vital. Students rehearse weekly with all of their
peers in full band and missing members during performances does affect the
sound of the whole band. It’s like competing in a playoff game but some of your
teammates are missing. If you have any concerns about attendance this night,
please contact us with as much notice as possible.
2) Band Marks
A mark has been entered into PowerSchool for your perusal.
This mark will not be included in final term grades but is useful for check-in
purposes. Please contact us if you have any questions at all! If you are
concerned about your child’s mark, there is plenty of time before report cards
in January to bring it up.
As always, thank you for your
continuing support of your child’s musical journey! The kids are doing a
wonderful job and are very excited to perform for you in just a few weeks J
Martin Area Band Team
