It’s hard to believe we are nearing the end of October. Here’s what’s going on in the music department:
Fall Concert:
Our fall concert is on Tuesday, October 29th at 7:00 pm in the theatre and will feature Choir, Band 9, Jr. and Sr. Jazz Bands as well as Sr. Wind Ensemble. It’s going to be an incredible showcase of what our students have been working on so far!
Students are expected to be in the music room no later than 6:30 pm (choir students will need to be on stage at 6:00 pm for a run through with our accompanist). We have discussed performance uniform in class, more info can be found on the Uniform section of our website or in the course outline.
Coffee Fundraiser:
Our fall coffee fundraiser was a huge success and coffee is being delivered to the school as your read this. Keep an eye out for our Purdy’s fundraiser in late November and a second coffee fundraiser in January.
Band Trip:
We are currently working on a package to attend the Con Brio Music Festival in Whistler as our band trip this year. This trip will be open to all students and we are hoping to have a concert band and a jazz band perform at the festival. You can expect to see trip info coming home in early November.
GWG Music Swag:
We will we doing our annual GWG Music department swag order in November. Students will have the chance to purchase hoodies, t-shirts, water bottles and more!
We look forward to seeing you at our concert on October 29th! Thank you for your continuous support of GWG Music.
