UNION COUNTY CONCERT BAND PREVIEW TUESDAY 3-18-14

PLEASE SHOW TO YOUR PARENTS..

Parents,

I just wanted to take the time to let you know that your child is doing a fantastic job in Symphonic Band. As you know we have our state music festival performance  April 1^st 2014 held at Hickory Ridge High School in Harrisburg NC.(Times TBA)    In preparation for this event, our county is holding Concert Band Preview at Cuthburtson High School on March 18^th 2014.   We will perform at 5:20pm in-front of three judges to give us constructive criticism in preparation for NC – Music Performance Assessment. (MPA)

 We will leave MHS at 3:00pm on Tuesday 3-18-14. It is required that all symphonic band students participate in this event. All students should wear concert black for our performance.  Depending on how fast we will get done with our performance, we might stop for dinner on the way home. We should Return to MHS by 7:00pm.

I encourage all of you to attend the preview performance held at Cuthbertson High School. Our students have worked real hard to strive for a superior performance this year.   I always emphasis performing is about improving every rehearsal, every day.   Our Symphonic Band has done just that.  I am proud of them as I know you will be.  If you decided to go there is no cost to enter the auditorium. I hope to see you all there supporting your child and band program.

Thank you for all that you do for our band members. If you have any questions or concerns feel free to email or call.
