October Concert Moved to Tuesday

We just received the exciting news that our Rock Orchestra will be featured at the Pennsylvania School Board Association Convention.  The students will travel to Hershey, PA, and perform for school board members and administrators from around the state.  The performance happens to also be the night of our October Band Concert, where the Symphonic Choir is scheduled to perform movements from Carmina Burana with the Wind Symphony.

To allow the Orchestra to perform at the convention, we will move the band concert from Wednesday, October 22 back a day to Tuesday, October 21.  We chose this day because it worked for all our guest artists and many of the students already had marching band practice.

The concert will be an exciting one, featuring:

• The Symphonic Choir joining the Wind Symphony for movements of Carl Orff's Carmina Burana
• Guest trumpet soloist, Jeff Nicodemus performing with the Wind Ensemble (member of the River City Brass Band, band parent, and yes, Elizabeth's dad!)
• The Allegheny Brass Band including a finale featuring our band students

We obviously make our calendar a year in advance and try to avoid any changes.  In this unique circumstance, though, we need to support all parts of our music program.

Congratulations to the Rock Orchestra, and we look forward to the concert!
