Large Group Performance Evaluation (LGPE) is going to be here soon! Especially after having the week off for ice, we are trying to iron out all of the details musically and logistically as these concerts approach. The 7th and 8th grade will have a Pre-LGPE concert on Tuesday, February 1st at McCleskey at 7pm. I'm asking all of the students to arrive IN UNIFORM at 6:15. We will have a guest clinician who will listen and provide comments for us in our final preparations for the concert the following week.
The 7th grade will be going to Hightower MS on Wednesday, February 9. The students will come to the orchestra room after school, change into their uniforms, eat dinner and then load busses for Hightower. We will arrive at Hightower around 7:00, warm up at 7:10, perform on stage around 7:35 and then go to the sightreading room at 8:00. Parents are welcome to come to Hightower and listen to us perform both on stage and in the sightreading room. We will be taking a bus back to McCleskey around 9:15. Parents can provide transportation home for their child as long as you let me know after we leave the sightreading room. Otherwise, parents can meet the bus back at McCleskey around 9:30-9:45pm. The permission form is attached-please return as soon as possible!
8th Grade LGPE will work exactly the same way on Thursday, February 10 with a slight change in times. The students will come to the orchestra room after school, change into their uniforms, eat dinner and then load busses for Hightower. We will arrive at Hightower around 6:30, warm up at 6:45, perform on stage around 7:10 and then go to the sightreading room at 7:35. Parents are welcome to come to Hightower and listen to us perform both on stage and in the sightreading room. We will be taking a bus back to McCleskey around 9:15. Parents can provide transportation home for their child as long as you let me know after we leave the sightreading room. Otherwise, parents can meet the bus back at McCleskey around 9:30-9:45pm. The permission form is attached-please return as soon as possible
Dinner will be provided for the students-there is no need to send additional money with them!
Let me know if you have questions!
Thanks and see you February 1st! Festival%20Permission%20forml20Permissionform
