Dress Code for the day: DRESS-UP!
Wear your Easter best- we dress for success. Absolutely NO t-shirts,
jeans or tennis shoes (as if you had to ask). Arrive to school in these
nice dress clothes. Do not waste my time (and your fellow musicians')
by bringing clothes to change. This would inevitably cause us to run
late and such inconsiderate behavior would cause stress. For all of
our sakes, such added stress should be avoided. So, arrive to school
in your nice clothes.
Goals for the day: Stay focused on your performance during the performance
(no distractions) and stay relaxed. If you do these things, our performances
will be stellar both on stage and in the sight reading room. You are
a talented group who has worked toward a distinguished quality performance.
You deserve an outstanding performance. I am proud to be your teacher
and am excited to conduct your performances. Stay focused and relaxed.
Concert festival is a free concert, so parents, family and friends are
welcome to drive to Henderson and listen. The performances will be in
their new performing arts auditorium (very nice!). Unfortunately, you
may not ride home or to lunch with parents or family! We need to stay
as a group and enjoy the day as a group.
If you would like a free trip to lovely Henderson, KY….I NEED CHAPERONES!
We are taking 2 buses, plus an equipment truck. So, there will be plenty
of room. Please call me or indicate on your child's permission slip
if you would like to chaperone. I'll even buy your lunch!
