September 12, 2017 From the Music Department

Dear Sir or Madam:

Below you will find the concert dates and times for the school year. Please take time to mark these on your calendar and take note of the changes in which grades perform at each concert. It is important that all students attend and participate since the concerts reflect what is being learned in the music classroom.

We are, again, offering the chance of being a sponsor of the music program. Sponsors will receive acknowledgement of their donation in concert programs and will also have a chance to sit in the reserved, front-row seats. Your donations will help fund new instruments, music and instructional materials in our music classroom. If you are interested in being a sponsor this year, please fill out the attached form and return it to the main office.
