The Band and Chorus concert that is on December 17th at 7:00 PM, the children are being asked to wear their nice dress clothing. No Jeans, tee shirts, or sleeveless dresses! Dark pants are preferred for boys. Girls may wear dress pants and a nice top or a dress. Please keep in mind the children will be moving about, they need to be able to raise their arms without showing their midriff. Please don't dress in a sweater, it will be HOT on stage and I don't want you to pass out!

****Rehearsals are going well. Chorus students MUST work on As Long as There's Christmas - it needs attention!

Band students please work on The Ukrainian Bell Carol - it needs work!!!! ************
