Please note the following:

- This is a concert grade and thus counts for 40% of students’ Q1 grade. Grade is based upon attendance and appropriate participation; conflicts should be communicated as soon as possible.

- Please be patient with the parking at the North Campus before and after the concert; with the size of our program, sporting events and community events, things will be full!

- Please make sure your student is on-time to their Call Time; 7th grade band will be rehearsing as a full ensemble prior to the concert’s start. It is important that we have everyone in attendance and on-time!

- Students are required to stay the entire concert.

- 7th Grade Band Students WILL be sitting in the audience after their performance, enjoying the performance of the 8th grade band. Please encourage your students to be respectful during this time as they will be joined by a few school officials!

- The concert should conclude around 8:40pm. 

- Following the concert, please exit the auditorium and meet your student in the Cafetorium. We please ask that you let only students and teachers be backstage.

- Parents/Audience members are encouraged to “Silence” their cell phones and view the concert. Students have worked VERY hard for this performance and you are encouraged to support them!

If there are questions, comments, conflicts or concerns, please contact Mr. Jacobs via phone or email at zjacobs@hpseagles.net or 669-7750 ext. 3303.
