Concert Band After School Dress Rehearsals: This week’s after school rehearsals for all three concert bands will count as dress rehearsals. Attendance is required in order to perform for the concert. Students do not need to dress up for these rehearsals. All woodwind and brass students will be required to wear their music masks at these rehearsals. Students who do not have a music mask will have to purchase one for $15. Percussion students are required to wear a mask as well, but they are not required to wear the “music mask.”
 
Mid-Year Band Concert General Concert Information:

• The Mid-Year Band Concert will take place on Thursday, April 8th in the PRHS Auditorium.
• The concert will be broken up in to four mini-concerts so that all parents have the opportunity to see their student’s performance while staying socially distant.
• The concert will be broken down as followed:
  • 6:00pm – Jazz Band 1 & Jazz Band 2
  • 6:45pm – Symphonic Band
  • 7:30pm – Symphonic Wind Symphony
  • 8:15pm – Wind Ensemble
• There is NO admission charge, but tickets will be required in order to attend each portion of the concert.
• Each student will be given two tickets for their portion of the concert. If there are siblings in the same ensemble, we will only be able to give two tickets for the household.
• Tickets will be distributed to students during class starting on Monday, April 5th. Students will have to ask Mrs. Robinson for their two tickets. We will give out unclaimed tickets starting on Wednesday, April 7th. So, there is a possibility of getting extra tickets.
• All audience members will be required to wear a mask throughout the entire duration of the concert.  
• Upon arrival, audience members will use a specified “entrance” door to enter and a specified “exit” door to exit the building.
• Available seats in the auditorium will be marked with green tape.
• We will record the concert and share the video for those who are not able to attend in person.
• Unfortunately, band students will not have the opportunity to watch their peers during the concert, unless they’re able to acquire a ticket. We plan on having a concert during the school day specifically for the band students so that they will have the opportunity to perform for each other. A date for this event will be released when it’s available.
• We also want to apologize for the inconvenience of this concert format. Our main goal is to provide our students with a performance opportunity that allows their parents to see and hear their progress. As of right now, these are the things we have to do in order for the event to take place. Thank you for your understanding and we hope that you will all consider attending the concert.
