Dress Rehearsal Rescheduled!!!!

Hello Band Parents,

This email is to notify you that I had to make a scheduling change for the spring concert DRESS REHEARSAL! Our previous time for dress rehearsal was after school (3:30-5:30) however we will be unable to do our dress rehearsal at that time.  With limited availability in the gym after school I have spoken with Ms. Maddaloni and received permission to hold dress rehearsal during the afternoon of Monday May 16th, from 12:50-2:50. This will get students back to class in time to make their bus and will not interfere with any of the after school activities. Students teachers have been notified and students will be responsible to make up any missed work. I do my best to limit missed class time however I think holding the dress rehearsal will be crucial to the students success and comfort during the Wednesday night show and this seems to be our only option! 

Please remember that the Spring Concert is WEDNESDAY May 18th from 7pm-8pm in the Nativity Community Center. All are welcome and admission is FREE, the students have been working very hard and have 9 more days to put it all together, it should be a fantastic show! Don't forget to grab aunt sally, crazy uncle mike, and all the family to come see us perform the music of Mozart, John Williams, the Beatles, and even Prince! It will be a great night for all, and as usual I promise to provide plenty of musically based jokes to entertain you between songs. Thank you again!
