Class Band Concert Moved to Wed, Oct 22

The class band's small ensemble and chamber concert has been moved to 7PM-9PM on Wednesday, October 22, so it doesn't conflict with Diwali.  All class band student will perform. 

For the concert, students need to wear concert black, which is more than just wearing black. Examples of proper concert attire:

• Long-sleeve button down dress shirt.
• Formal black dress shoes (closed toe).
• Black dress pants.
• Black dress/skirt - these need to be mid-calf when standing and below the knee when seated.
• Black dress socks or non-see through tights.

UPCOMING FUNDRAISER - CHARLESTON WRAP

Families asked for sales-based fundraisers, and we have a good one!
