Hello all! Less than 48 hours away from our year-end concert! Here are the details you need to know. - Every music student is involved in this concert, and is expected to pariticipate from start to finish. - Students should be in **proper uniforms**. Proper uniforms include black pants (not sweatpants, skirts, tights or leggings, but pants), black socks, black shoes and a lightweight white top. Band Jackets will be distributed to students in advance of the concert. Panorama has organized their own unique outfits as well. - All students are expected to **arrive at NDC by 6:00 PM**. They are to go to their designated warm-up rooms to put their instruments together, tune, and get themselves organized. - **Strings** warm up in Mrs. Dudgeon's Room (set up your stringed instruments before you set up your wind instruments) - **Grade 7**s warm up in the Band Room - **Grade 8**s warm up in Mrs. Coucill's Room - **Grade 9**s warm up in Mrs. Ewankow's Room - **Seniors** warm up in Mr. Asselstine's Room - Admission is by **cash or card donation**. The doors will open at **6:10 PM**. - The **bleachers are reserved for student musicians**. Student musicians will be sitting on the bleachers for the concert to allow for rapid transitions and minimal downtime, which will be necessary to keep the concert flowing and entertaining. - **Concert Programmes will be Digital and Interactive** in format. A link and a QR code will be available at the venue, and for at least 1 week following as well. Cellphones will be permitted in the concert, but should be set to silent. - A space in front of the band will be available to let parents and supporters sneak a photo in of their students. Please feel free to **bring cameras** *without flash, buzzes or beeps.* It promises to be an incredible evening of music and celebration! We have 9 different ensemble configurations playing 19 pieces of music, and we also have some very well-deserved awards to hand out. I look forward to seeing you all there, but most importantly, I can't wait for you to see how incredibly hard your students have worked, and how strong they have become as musicians! See you there!
