Winter and Spring Concert Info
When: Students are in the East Wake band room by 6:15pm
Where: East Wake High School
Dress: Black dress shirt, black dress pants, black dress shoes (no white socks, no skirts allowed)
Bring: Your instrument, all reeds/mouthpieces needed, and all music
How Long: Concert will be about an hour. All students are expected to remain at the concert for its entirety.
Required Performance: Concerts are very special to our students because it is the chance they get to show off all of the hard work they've put toward making music together. In addition to them feeling a great sense of accomplishment, they get the wonderful opportunity to hear the other grades play and learn so much by hearing players that are not in their grade. As a test grade is very important in a math class, concerts are the "final project" for band students so attendance is mandatory. Policy on excused absences parallels that of the school and applies to performances as well as daily class meetings. Absences shall be excused only in the following circumstances:
1. Illness or injury
2. Isolation ordered by the NC Board of Health
3. Death in the family
4. Medical or dental appointment
5. Court appointment
6. Religious observance
7. Other pre-approved educational opportunities
All notifications of absences must be given to the director PRIOR to the event being missed. The director may be notified in writing or via email. Please be sure to continue to refer to this calendar page. Should a conflict arise please contact the director as soon as possible. Note that any students who are not in correct concert attire will not be allowed to perform and will receive a zero percent for the concert.
