8th Grade Scheduling Information
IMPORTANT INFO REGARDING WS / 6th GRADE CONCERT
Due to the series of weather cancellations, there have been some changes regarding the Wind Symphony / 6th Grade Concert. These changes are outlined below:
6th Grade / Wind Symphony Concert, Thursday January 30 7:00 p.m. (as scheduled)
Rehearsal with the 6th graders is tomorrow morning at the JCA at 8:00. That means you need to either go directly there if you already have your instrument, or get to school early enough to pick your stuff up from the band room and get to the JCA a few minutes before 8. Please use the STAGE DOOR (JH side of the building) for this rehearsal. Wind Symphony Members, your 1st hour teachers were informed of this rehearsal last week. We'll dismiss you from the JCA around 8:35, so you should be able to be back in 1st hour for about the last 10 minutes of class. If your teachers need you to make up time, you may do that during 3rd hour on Friday (NOT on Thursday!).
Wind Symphony, your performance on Thursday includes:
- Army of the Nile
- The Cowboys (lots of new cuts to get used to tomorrow!)
- Fanfare on Ode to Joy (w/6th graders)
- Dragonslayer (w/6th graders)
Call Time for Wind Symphony Members - 6:00 p.m. (this is a change) on stage
Call Time for 6th Grade Band Members - 6:30 p.m. in the dressing room
