Winter Concert is TONIGHT!

Our Winter Concert is TONIGHT at Martin High School! CLICK HERE for a .pdf of the handout or see below for the text.

General Information:

·         This is a performance grade and will count twice so it is required for ALL band members in ALL classes.

·         Uniform: This is a formal event, so we will dress accordingly.

o   Symphonic Band (Boles 4^th period) will wear the Boles Formal Uniform

o   All other students will wear nice dress clothes (what some families might describe as “Sunday best”). Please no jeans, shorts, t-shirts, or athletic shoes. Boys should wear khakis or dress slacks with a polo or, even better, shirt and tie. Girls may wear a dress or skirt/blouse as long as you are mindful of school dress code and how the skirt will work with your instrument.

·         There are two components to this concert: performing and being an audience member. Our behavior as an audience member is just as important as how well we perform. All students must stay for the entire concert. Grades can be lowered if students are disruptive or disrespectful during another class’s performance.

·         It is important for all students to arrive at their designated call time. Students that are late may not receive full credit for the performance.
