- If you are on teardown crew, please be stay and help fold chairs and move equipment. Bonus points are available.
- It is asked that all performers stay for the entire concert. It is only polite and good concert manners. Only students excused in advance may leave before the end of the concert. This is more than just a performing opportunity – it is also a LISTENING and LEARNING opportunity!
- All band and choir members must sit with their family when not performing. We have had problems with misbehavior when students sit together in the reserved section.
