EVENT: MUSIC PERFORMANCE ASSESSMENT

SYMPHONIC BAND



DATE: Tuesday, March 3

MUSIC: Newcastle, American Hymntune, Blue Ridge



MEET: HOMS @ 6:15 pm



DEPARTURE: HOMS @ 7:00 pm



PERFORM: Centennial High School at 8:30 pm



SIGHT-READ: 9:00 pm



RETURN: HOMS @ 10:15 pm



GENERAL INFO: Please eat a nice dinner before returning to school at 6:15. Once I am back from our first MPA evaluation at Centennial, I will open several rooms to facilitate dressing. Of utmost importance is to focus and concentrate on our performance. We are right at the level where if we focus, we have our reward in hand, but if we lose our concentration, we lose the prize. I know that it is a long night, but once we are back at school, please change quickly and lay your concert outfits carefully across the chair for pictures tomorrow. Thanks for all of your patience, practice, and constant rehearsing, however, there is still time for improvement. Remember, “PROPER PRACTICE PREVENTS A POOR PERFORMANCE”.

Parents, we implore you to please plan to listen to us at MPA. Friendly faces will help us to play more musical. This event will be held at Port St. Lucie Centennial High (a 20 minute drive from here) and we play at 8:30 PM.



Musically yours,

Mr. Gilbert
