Dear BCMS Band Parents and Students,
The 8th Grade Band is preparing to play at District Band Festival, their first competition. Below is some information to help with planning your family schedules. A detailed Band Festival Itinerary will follow. Please check the band page on the school website. The detailed Itinerary will be posted there in advance of the students receiving the Itinerary to bring home.
The date of District Band Festival is: Saturday, March 16, 2013. The 8th grade band performs at 10:50am at Perry HS. There is a long check-list of things to do that will be listed on the itinerary. For now it is important to know that the students will need to report to the MS at 7:00am that Saturday. They will need to wear their black pants, white shirts, black shoes and socks. We will have a breakfast snack for them before they board school busses to depart at 7:30am. Students will return to the Middle School and be ready for pick up at 2:30pm that afternoon. If parents would like to pick up their child after the performance in Perry, that is OK. Students will be ready for their parents to check them out with Mr. Smokovitz at 12:30pm in the Perry Cafeteria.
Additionally, there will be a Pre-Festival Concert on Wednesday, March 13, 2013. This concert will be at 7pm in the HS Auditorium and will last 1hr. Students will need to wear their concert attire. Vests and ties will be added on site just before we play. There is no admission charge for this concert and will feature the 8th Grade Band and the Varsity Band. This concert is in preparation for the Festival performance and gives the students an opportunity to play for an audience before performing before judges at festival. It also gives the students the opportunity work the stage set up as well as the formal stage entrance and exit procedures. We hope that you can attend the Pre-Festival concert as well as Band Festival in Perry.
Sincerely – Mr. Smokovitz
