In the Gold Gym. Parents and families are welcome to attend.

(details TBA)

The Buckhorn High School Band’s 2020 Winter Concert will be Thursday, December 17th at 7:00 in the BHS Gold Gym (the main big one).  Admission is free!

*Classroom and gym event safety protocols will be employed – social distancing, masks, and 50% capacity – which leaves room to exceed our typical concert attendance.
*Please remember that students who are in-person at daily rehearsals are required to attend for a test grade.  Please communicate any safety concerns directly to me.

Our students received several exciting pieces of literature yesterday which we will study and work hard to prepare over the next month!  Students should be doing their own personal practice study regularly.

We hope you will all come and invite all of your family and friends!  The concert should last about an hour and is sure to help get us all in the spirit of the season.

Additional notes to consider:
We will not have after school rehearsal on the day of the concert. Students will be released at the bell, should get home, eat and change.
ALL STUDENTS CONCERT ATTIRE MUST BE AS PREVIOUSLY STIPULATED, including length of pants/dress – hemmed with slight break on the shoe.
Students leaders return at 4:45 to begin preparation for setting up in the gym.
Everyone else needs to return to the band room in full concert attire by 5:00, at which time we will move and set up everything in the gym (as basketball practice concludes).

Please keep in mind that we want families and friends to be able to take pictures and take the opportunity to enjoy each other’s fellowship, but students will need to take care of moving all of our chairs, stands, equipment, etc. back to the band room first.

ALL Jazz Band and Concert Band students/parents, please read all of the following concerning the SPRING CONCERT:
This Thursday, May 20th at 7:00 is our Spring Concert at The Rock Family Worship Center’s “Dream Theatre” (enter from Holmes Avenue). We are putting final touches on the program this week – students really need to avoid missing class this week if at all possible.

DETAILS FOR STUDENTS:
On Thursday, student call time is no later than 5:00 ON STAGE, FULLY DRESSED in concert attire so we can begin sound/visual checks working backward through the program, to finish by 6:30. Don’t be late to call time and don’t walk in half-dressed.
*I am looking for student volunteers who have the ability to arrive by 4:30-4:45 to help get chairs and stands set by 5 for the full ensemble.

CHECK YOUR CONCERT ATTIRE NOW. Parents, please ensure your student’s attire is mended correctly (pant/dress length – not bunched up at the foot), and that gentlemen wear a solid white undershirt and TALL BLACK SOCKS with their tux. Ladies need closed-toed solid black flats or low heels. All hair must be neatly pulled back.
*Your dress and “look” reflects you, your family, your section, & our band, in that order. Please do your best to help us be “uniform”. It matters.
