Hi All!
We are now on the final countdown to the concert! So here's the info in case you lost it elsewhere:
Concert in AHES gym
Tuesday, December 6.
During school & at 7 pm
Wear black pants, white shirt, black shoes if possible.
Concert will be held during the school day - this means that you either have to wear your concert clothes to school (I recommend this option, helps you to not forget!) or bring them with you (they get kinda wrinkly in the backpack!)
The morning of the concert, you will be asked to come down to the gym. At this time, you will unpack your instrument IN YOUR CLASSROOM leaving the case and other accessories there. Bring your instrument & music to the gym. Brass, bring some oil. Woodwinds bring reeds. Percussionists, you may be asked to help load the instruments up to the gym before the concert, get your muscles out!
We will NOT play our instruments willy-nilly in the gym. Instead we will wait for our warm-ups. Flutes sit to Mrs. Talmage's right, clarinets to the left, trumpets in the middle. Trombones center back, FH & alto sax behind flutes, tenor sax & baritone horn left of the trombones. Fourth graders will sit in the chairs to Mrs. Talmage's right, fifth & sixth graders to Mrs. Talmage's left.
After our part of the concert is over, you will sit and be a GREAT AUDIENCE for the chorus.
At night, please leave your instrument case at home or in the car. We will meet in the gym at 6:30. We will not play our instruments like crazy band people until the warm-ups as a group. After our part of the concert is over YOU ARE NOT DISMISSED! It is rude to walk out! Instead you will be a GREAT AUDIENCE for the chorus. Our concert should take about 75 minutes.
After the entire concert is over, you are free to go home with your family members.
If you have any other questions, please contact me!
Thanks,
Sam Talmage
