RMS Spring Concerts May 7th & May 9th

Our Spring Concerts will be on two nights.  
On Tuesday May 7th, the 7th and 8th
Bands will perform.  The 7th Grade band should arrive at 6pm.  They will begin the performance at 6:30.  The 8th Grade Band will begin at approximately 7:15pm. On Thursday, May 9th,  the  6th Grade, Symphonic, and Jazz Bands will play.  The 6th Grade Band will need to arrive at 6pm.  The concert will begin at 6:30.  The Symphonic Band will begin at approximately 7:15pm. The Jazz Band will begin shortly after the Symphonic concert is over. In this way the concerts will not run too long, making it more enjoyable for everyone.
         We are switching our concert attire for the 6th & 8th grade this year.  The they  will be expected to wear a dress black shirt that tucks into dress black slacks, black socks, and solid black shoes.  The 7th grade will wear the same attire as last year.  Dress white shirt that tucks into your dress black slacks, black socks, solid black shoes.  No dresses or skirts of any kind are allowed.  (see band handbook) 
         The concert performance counts as a performance grade.  Attendance is expected.  Those who have an excused absence   from the performance may make up the grade by writing a 5 paragraph report on a famous composer, or by recording themselves performing the concert music and submitting it to Mr. Ansberry for grading.  (see grading procedures in band handbook)
