Graduation Band

Dear Band Parents,

This is just a reminder that our graduation is tonight, Friday the 22nd! All band members who have siblings in the 8th grade, and the entire Orchestra, will be playing at graduation. If you child is not in orchestra or does not have a sibling in 8th grade but would like to play, they are welcome! The music is very easy and we will be going over it tonight. Students who are playing for the graduation band should be dropped off at the middle school at 5:25 on the evening of the 22nd We will meet in the band room to warm up and rehearse until 5:45. At 5:45 we will move to the HS gym for the graduation itself.

Graduation should be over by 7:15 or so. Please plan on arriving at 7:15 in front of the Middle School. I will dismiss the band students quickly so that they can get to you so can leave before the rush of parents. Most parents will be staying with their children to have refreshments and to socialize.

Students ought to wear their blue music department polo shirts to graduation. They can wear shorts if it is hot, but I am asking for “dressy” shorts (khakis etc) as opposed to “work out” shorts. Sneakers are fine.

Thanks for all you do!
Best,
Mr. Emre Akter
