Performances
In addition to individual performance opportunities, there are three ensemble performances during the course of the year. These are important events and are the culmination of months of hard work by the students. Individual musicians who miss concerts negatively affect the group as a whole. Everyone is an important member of the team. Band students are expected to attend all performances unless the directors have approved an acceptable excuse / emergency prior to the performance. Short of family emergency, please plan to have your student at these concerts. If a student misses a concert without director approval the student will be required to make this grade up by both a playing test related to the performance and writing a written music-related report. The concert dates and other dates and deadlines have been listed on the following page for your convenience. Please place these on your calendars for future reference and planning. Thank you for your cooperation.
