Dear Parents,

This year our annual Winter Concert will be on December 16^th, at 6:30 PM.  Our students have been working hard to prepare for this musical event.  The first performance will be held at 9:30 AM for the teachers and students of K-6^th grades.  The second performance is for parents, family and friends at 6:30 PM.  Students are required to perform in both concerts.  Both performances will be held in the Primary Center Auditorium.

All students should dress appropriately for the concert.  These young musicians have spent many hours preparing for the concert, and we’d like them to look their best for it.  For the evening concert, please avoid sneakers, jeans, and T-shirts.  Appropriate attire would be:  slacks and a long-sleeved shirt for boys, and either skirt/slacks with a blouse, or a dress for girls.  Since this is a school event, the district’s dress code will be followed.  For the morning performance, normal school clothes will be fine.  Also, NO Candy or Gum at either concert, please!

On Thursday, all performers should report to the Primary Center auditorium.   All Advanced Band students at 7:50 AM, and all others by 8:15 AM, instead of going to the Elementary Center.    We’ll take attendance and lunch count there at the P.C. in the morning. In the evening, all students should go to the P.C. Auditorium at 6:00 PM.  It is important to be there at these times so that we can get set up, warmed up, and lined up.  We will have seats reserved for the musicians at the back of the auditorium, where they will sit quietly when they’re not performing.

Parents:   We need at least 3 parents to watch the concert with the students at the back of the auditorium. You won’t miss anything, we just need you to help remind them of proper audience behavior, and help them move to and from the stage efficiently.   Also, if you get any good pictures and/or video of the concert, please let us know if you don’t mind sharing a copy.

Please contact Mr. Nevin if you can help! (610) 779-3547    or    rnevin@antietamsd.org
