[Msband] Band Fest Reminder

[Dandrea, Patrick]

Dear Middle School Band Parents,

Our ensembles have been excitedly preparing for next week's big Band Fest concert. I think you will be so impressed with the hard work they have put in, as well as the progression from 4th grade all the way through 12th grade. The details are as follows:

When: Wednesday, March 7, 7:30pm
Where: HS Gymnasium (please see note below)
Concert Dress:
Ladies:  White blouse or dress shirt, black long skirt or dressy black pants, black shoes and stockings and maroon sash.

Gentlemen:  White button-down dress shirt, black dress pants, black shoes and black socks, maroon cummerbund and maroon bow tie.

Please note:

 *   Up until 7:20 pm, we will be asking the parents/audience to enter the High School through the main doors (next to the Cafeteria).  Tickets will be sold at that entrance and parents and other guests can wait in the cafeteria (coffee will be available) or they will be directed through the HS hallways to the gym (and they can wait in those hallways until the gym opens).
 *   After 7:20 pm, parents and other guests can enter through the regular door (by the gym and auditorium) and buy tickets there.
 *   Anyone with mobility issues can enter at any time through the doors by the gym and auditorium.
 *   The student musicians should enter through the doors by the gym and auditorium as they have in the past.

Thank you and we look forward to seeing you next Wednesday evening!

To Parents of Middle School Band Members:

The popular Band Fest is only a little over a week away -- Wednesday, March 7 at 7:30pm!  This is a family favorite where we see the progression from the 4th grade band to the High School Wind Ensemble.

With the large numbers of student musicians and their parents, we are making some changes to accommodate the crowd.

 *   Up until 7:20 pm, we will be asking the parents/audience to enter the High School through the main doors (next to the Cafeteria).  Tickets will be sold at that entrance and parents and other guests can wait in the cafeteria (coffee will be available) or they will be directed through the HS hallways to the gym (and they can wait in those hallways until the gym opens).
 *   After 7:20 pm, parents and other guests can enter through the regular door (by the gym and auditorium) and buy tickets there.
 *   Anyone with mobility issues can enter at any time through the doors by the gym and auditorium.
 *   The student musicians should enter through the doors by the gym and auditorium as they have in the past.

We need the following volunteers to make this concert a success:

 *   3 ticket sellers (Please come at 6:30 pm)
 *   5 guides to direct parents through the High School to the gym (Please come at 6:30 pm)

All volunteers will be able to go into the gym early and put their coat on a seat to reserve it.  Please let me know if you would like to volunteer by responding to packs5 at comcast.net<mailto:packs5 at comcast.net>.

Thank you in advance for your help!

Regards,
