It’s been a busy few weeks in the band area, and the music for the concert is almost ready to share! There will be four more hectic rehearsal days before we relax a bit leading into the holidays. Please check the schedule below; it would be appreciated if all students could make every effort to attend their final concert rehearsals. Please send an email if your child cannot attend a morning rehearsal due to illness. Thank you!

Uniforms: All students are asked to wear their band uniforms for the concert. The uniform consists of white long sleeved t-shirts, black pants, and band sweater (vest). All grade 7 students should now have received band vests and new white t-shirts! 

Festive Accessories: Students are strongly encouraged to wear Santa hats, light up necklaces, reindeer antlers, etc. to add to the fun atmosphere of this concert!

Concert Admission: Band students will be accepting donations for the Food Bank at the door as part of our Christmas challenge with Stonepark Intermediate. If you can, please bring a food item to donate to support families in our community this Christmas.

Tickets for the EWS Holiday Gift Box Raffle will be sold at the concert again this year with funds raised going toward helping families in our community to have a brighter Christmas. The draw for the winner will be held on December 12^th during the concert.
