Dear Wind Ensemble and Symphonic Band Musicians and Parents:
On Thursday evening, December 14, 2006, the Groesbeck High School Bands will be presenting their annual Christmas Concert. The concert will feature the Symphonic Band, Wind Ensemble and Jazz Band. The concert will be held in the Groesbeck High School Auditorium and will begin at 7:00 p.m.
The Wind Ensemble will meet in the band hall and the Symphonic Band on stage no later than 6:40 p.m. in order to begin the concert on time. All band students are eligible and attendance is required. This concert will count as the semester exam for all band students. It will last about 1 hour and will be a very enjoyable evening of holiday music. The concert is free and we hope to have the auditorium full of parents, friends and relatives watching the bands perform.
Performance dress for the concert is nice slacks and shirt (tie is recommended) for gentlemen, and dresses or skirts, or a nice pants outfit for the ladies. Too short dresses or skirts should be avoided since we will be sitting and holding instruments. Jeans, shorts, tennis shoes, and t-shirts are not acceptable for a formal concert.
Do be on time so the concert may begin on time!
Do bring your camera and video recorder!
Do remember to turn off or put your cell phone on silent during the concert.
Please, Do remain seated while a band is performing and only enter or exit the auditorium when the band is not playing.
And the most important “Do” . . .
Do plan on having a fun evening listening to some very bright and talented musicians entertain you!
If there are any questions, please feel free to call us. The high school band hall number is 729-4117, and the best time to call is 9:00 – 9:30 AM. We hope to see you on Thursday!
Sincerely,
Steve Smith
