Collage Concert Week Information

Collage Week: The collage concert is a combined band and choir event. At this concert, we create a continuous flow of music for the entire show, meaning there are smooth transitions and no applause in between pieces. To achieve this effect, we need additional rehearsal time. The schedule for next week is:

• Tuesday, 12/7 – Rehearsal 3:30-8:00pm
• Wednesday, 12/8 – Rehearsal 3:30-8:00pm
• Thursday, 12/9 – Performances at 6:30pm and 8:15pm
• Friday, 12/10 – Emergency date for concert in case of weather

Rehearsals: Students should bring homework, as they will not be performing during the entire time. There will not be an “official” dinner break; instead, students may bring a sack lunch to eat during free time.

Performances: Both performances are on the same night: 12/9. Two performances are scheduled to accommodate large crowds. Because of parent work commitments, we anticipate more people at the 8:15 concert. Therefore, if you can make it to the 6:30 concert, you are encouraged to attend at that time. Note: The Friday date will occur ONLY if we have inclement weather on one of the other dates.

Parent Supervision Needed: Since directors are often not in the room, it is important to have adult supervision each evening.  If you can help supervise the band room during one of the following shifts, please contact Mr. Dortwegt (cdortweg@psd202.org).

• Tuesday, 12/7 – 3:30-5:45
• Tuesday, 12/7 – 5:45-8:00
• Wednesday, 12/8 – 3:30-5:30
• Wednesday, 12/8 – 5:30-8:00
• Thursday, 12/9 – 6:00-7:45 (then attend the 8:15 concert)
• Thursday, 12/9 – 7:45-9:00 (attend the 6:30 concert first)
