| Schedule & Details |
There are three groups divided by titles. Students must arrive on time for their group rehearsal but may leave once their assigned songs/pieces have been rehearsed. Please note that these times are approximate rehearsal times, which is why the sessions have overlapping rehearsal times for each group. Conductor may ask for more rehearsal time for a particular piece if needed.

Students must arrive by 1pm to the Green Room and should bring their own water, snacks, and quiet activity items (such as a book, homework, game, etc.). ALL ITEMS must be labeled with student’s First & Last Name in case items get lost. CHECK-IN: All students should report at the Green Room entrance of the Center for the Arts by 1 pm. PICK UP: All students are to be picked up at the Green Room (a waiting room behind the stage) by one parent only at the end of the concert. High school students can leave without a parent. ALL concert-attendees (including parents of performers) must purchase tickets to attend concert. Tickets can be purchased online here for $10 or at the door on Concert Day for $15 (cash or check only). Doors open to the audience at 1:30pm. Concert will start at 2pm and end at approximately 4pm. Please stay for the whole concert so students can take a group picture on-stage at the end. After the concert, there will be a discounted piano sale hosted by Pianos Plus. All pianos on-stage and in hallway are on sale. |
