I recently received this invitation from Tim Doyle from the Holland College Welshmen Community Band. Ideally, the students will have made a connection with one of our two Band For Life volunteers during grade 7, 8, or 9 early morning band rehearsals, but this is not required:

We would like one or two students from your group to join us and play a piece with us at our April 18th concert (Theme from Jurassic Park).

Expectations of students:

-learn their music

-attend the run through with the band on Sunday, April 16th between 1:30-2:00 pm at FSPH (Florence Simmons Performance Hall, Charlottetown)

-attend warm up on stage at FSPH at 6:45 pm on April 18th

-wear their school band uniform to concert

Students who are interested in this opportunity are asked to please let me know tomorrow (Tuesday) at school. Thank you!

Tuesday, April 11: Grade 7 Early AM Band

Wednesday, April 12: Grade 8 Early AM Band and Jazz Band after school (3:15-4:15)
