Solo & Ensemble/Spaghetti Dinner Part 2

If you have not already read part 1 please click here and read it before continuing.

Students will be performing in the Band Hall, Choir Room, and Performing Arts Center beginning at 5:30.  The cafeteria will be used for both the Spaghetti Dinner as well as the warm up room.  The side closest to the library will be for warm up and the side closest to the kitchen will be for the Spaghetti Dinner.  Parents are encouraged to show their support for the students by both listening to some performances and eating at the Spaghetti Dinner (tickets are available at the door for $10 each).  The “final” schedule, which is subject to change, has been posted in the band hall and you can click here to download it.

Out of respect for the performers, audience members will need to enter between performances and will need to remain quiet in the music wing hallway as the sound proofing in our building is not ideal.  Video recording is allowed provided it is not a distraction to the performers.  For this reason, flash photography is not allowed.

Important Notes:
  • Students will not be able to get their instrument out of the band hall once the contest begins, therefore students need to take their instruments home after school and then bring them back for the contest.  Larger instruments may be stored in the “triangle” ensemble room.
  • Students should plan on arriving at least 30 minutes prior to their performance time and should be waiting outside the performance room 10-15 minutes prior to their performance time.
  • Students will need to listen and complete an ensemble evaluation form of 4 other performances that evening.  Evaluation forms should be picked up and turned in in the cafeteria.
  • The Spaghetti Dinner will be taking place in the cafeteria beginning at 5:30. Students planning on eating at the Spaghetti Dinner may eat either before or after their performance.  Tickets will be on sale that evening.
Students should wear business casual attire:
  • Boys Attire
    • Polo or button down shirt tucked in (No T-shirt)
    • Khaki or dark pants (No jeans)
    • Matching belt and dress shoes (No athletic shoes)
  • Girls Attire
    • Business casual appropriate pants or skirt (No jeans)
    • Business casual appropriate blouse (No t-shirt)
    • Business casual appropriate shoes (No athletic shoes)

Busy Semester

This semester is a very busy time for everyone in the band.  All parents and students should check the calendar daily for rehearsal schedules and winter guard/drumline events.  Parents in those two organizations need to sign up and help chaperone or drive the truck for at least one or two of the contests.

All wind students (that’s brass and woodwinds for those who forgot) should have already selected a solo and/or ensemble to perform at the Spaghetti Dinner & Solo/Ensemble Recital on February 27.  This is a required performance for every student.  Winter Drumline and Winter Guard students will perform their shows that evening.  All students will receive a grade for their performance.
