BOBCAT BANDS 101: THE SPRING
In addition to starting preparations for the next school year, springtime also brings a few final performances, another big fundraiser, and a chance to say farewell to our seniors.
February or March, Music in Our Schools Month Concerts: CB, JE, and the MSB will each have concerts during the first quarter of the year, in honor of Music in Our Schools month.
Early April, Grandview Bands Cake Fundraiser: the third and final leg of the GHBPA FUNDRAISING journey is the 70+-year-old annual Cake Walk tradition. Many, many, many parent volunteers are necessary for this event, which typically occurs on a Friday night in early April in the GHHS gymnasium. In addition, every band family is asked to donate one cake per student for the event.
Late April, Spring Concert and Senior Awards: the final concert of the school year for both the CB and JE groups. Seniors from both groups will be recognized. Parent volunteers help to make that happen.
Late April/early May, MSB Spring Concert and Orchestra Concert: the Middle School Bands' and the HSO and MSO typically give their final performances of the year in late April or early May.
Early May, Cabaret: the GHHS Vocal Music program hosts its “Cabaret” event in early May, and the Jazz Ensemble typically performs.
Whew! That’s it! And then, of course, we start all over again . . . .
