Spring Concert Information<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span>We are working hard to get ready for our Spring Concert this year!\u00a0 The feature of the concert is our Musical Play about Space called <\/span>Interplanetary Odyssey<\/span><\/i>, and each music class will perform a piece during the play! The children have been busy preparing their musical number(s) and making sets and props for the play!<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span>The dates and times of the concert are as follows:\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Divisions <\/span>1, 3, 5, 7, 9 11, 13, 15 and 17 (odd divisions) <\/span><\/b>will perform on <\/span>Wednesday, April 15<\/span><\/b>th<\/span><\/b> at<\/span><\/b> 1:30pm, and at 6:30pm.\u00a0 <\/span><\/b>Doors will open for the evening performance at 6:00pm.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Divisions <\/span>2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16 and 18 (even divisions) <\/span><\/b>will perform on <\/span>Thursday, April 16<\/span><\/b>th<\/span><\/b> at<\/span><\/b> 1:30pm, and at 6:30pm<\/span><\/b>.\u00a0 Doors will open for the evening performance at 6:00pm.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span>Please also let Ms. Karlson and\/or your child\u2019s classroom teacher know if your child will not be able to attend his or her performance date.\u00a0<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The expectation is that every child in the school participates in our school-wide concert.<\/strong><\/em> Preparations are being made to accommodate the actual number of children in each class including numbers of costume pieces, partnering of children in dances, considerations around instruments, set pieces, props, spacing on stage, sound quality, etc. Of course, a few children will likely be absent due to sickness, and you cannot know that ahead of time. But if there are circumstances that prevent your child from participating in the concert that you know of now, please let your child\u2019s classroom teacher know immediately<\/em><\/strong> so we can adjust our plans accordingly. This will lesson the staff and other students’ stress levels in planning and practicing for the concert.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

We need some supplies for the sets and props for the play as well. We need switches, buttons, toggles, old computer equipment that you are not using, even if it is broken or unworking, to create space-themed props for our play. Items that resemble toggles, switches, dials, joysticks, levers, etc are useful too. For example, lids from containers look like dials on computer equipment. <\/span>Please do not donate precious equipment as we cannot guarantee that it will return to you in the same condition. <\/span><\/i><\/b>If you do want your item returned after the concert, please label it with your child\u2019s name and division. Please drop off any items with Ms. Karlson in the music room the Monday after Spring Break.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
