Winter Band Concert – Rescheduled
Rescheduled Concert Date: Thursday January the 15th. 6:00pm arrival for students, 6:30 downbeat - same as usual.
While Christmas carols in January may seem odd, the kids have worked hard to put on this concert and we are going to do it. Besides what's better than celebrating the festive season once? Twice! We have a variety of other non-festive music for you as well. Additionally, our school Jazz band which started just a few weeks ago, will have an extra couple rehearsals to prepare and play a tune or two as well.
We look forward to seeing you all for our belated winter concert on Thursday January the 15th at MidSun.
With apologies and musically yours,
Rob Hutchinson - Band Director
