The 7th graders will stay after school the day of the concert for a final run-through. We will have a pizza dinner as the sixth graders did for the holiday concert. 7th graders will bring their concert clothes with them to school that morning.

Sixth and eighth graders need to be at school no later than 6:15 to tune and prepare. Sixth graders will meet in the band room, Eighth graders in the orchestra room.

Cello and bass players will need their own instruments. Please bring them on Wednesday morning so we can use them in class on Wednesday and Thursday.

Concert dress is long black on bottom, white on top. Long black skirt or pants for the girls and long tie for the boys. Short skirts, T-shirts and tennis shoes are NOT appropriate and will not be allowed on stage.

Parents can help by chaperoning/helping some time during the evening; the pizza dinner at 5:30, at 6:10 in the band and orchestra rooms, or sit with and actively monitor the groups in the audience before and after they have performed. Debbie Baker is again arranging a reception and will need help setting up and serving.

This has been an awesome year for us; a new room, the great honor of being invited to perform at the GMEA Conference, culminating in a wonderful performance and fun trip, a great new bunch of 6th graders and the prospect of doing this all again next year! Thank you to all the Mabry orchestra members, and their parents, for a wonderful year.
