Good morning GH instrumental music families, and DO NOT BE FOOLED by your students' four-day school week! Even though it doesn't feel like it, today REALLY IS

TUESDAY! Please make a note so you don't miss any important upcoming events, as detailed below.....

1. MIDDLE SCHOOL BAND CONCERT: Up first, our middle school bands return to performance TOMORROW NIGHT, on the BIG STAGE in the newly renovated GHHS auditorium. Woo hoo! The 5th and 6th grade bands kick things off at 6pm, followed by the 7th and 8th grade bands at 7pm. Click here for details on what to wear and when to report, if you have a middle school band student in your home. Sneak peek at the concert program is available by clicking here - don't forget to bookmark it in advance!

3. ORCHESTRA VOLUNTEERS: And, hey, did we mention? We need a little help! Mr. Stanley is seeking a few chaperones to help the very large group of 5th and 6th grade musicians maintain their good concert behavior this Friday night at our concert. Mr. Stanley is also taking the 7th through 12th grade orchestra musicians to ProMusica Chamber Orchestra's Naked Classics program on March 3, and needs a few parent chaperones that night as well. Please click here if you can help with either event.
