TUESDAY, APRIL 7TH AT 2:00 and 7:00 PM!
ALEX SCHOOLS SPRING CONCERT
ALEX HIGH SCHOOL GYMNASIUM
Tuesday, April 7th Alex Music will present “Laughing, Learning, and Leveling Up!”, a PK-4th elementary vocal music concert, and we will also be featuring our 5-12 Mixed Choir and our HS Drumline in concert!
All students have worked hard for this for weeks. We know that spring is a busy time of year with many activities. It’s important to always have good turnouts for these performances. This has been on our school master schedule since the first day of classes. Please make sure that your child attend this performance! This will be a required semester test grade for those in 5th-12th Choir and HS Drumline.
The location will be in the HS gym. We will be doing two concerts, there will be an informal rehearsal run at 2:00, where your student can wear whatever they would like to school that day, and then we will have the official concert in concert dress at 7:00 pm. The concert should only last about an hour.
For concert dress: For the 2:00, your child does not have to wear anything special, it is informal. For the 7:00: For ALL students, just dress casual nice, like church-style dress. PLEASE NO HATS OR ANY HEADWEAR THAT CAN STICK UP AND OBSTRUCT THE VIEW OF THE CHILD THAT HAS BEEN CAREFULLY PLACED BEHIND YOUR STUDENT.
PLEASE NOTE: AT BOTH PRINCIPAL’S REQUEST, SCHOOL DOORS WILL NOT BE UNLOCKED UNTIL 6:40 pm that night. Our teachers need time to prepare for the evening and we want the holding sections on the visitor side of the gym to be staffed with a teacher and not unattended. When you bring your students in at that time, just bring them straight to the gym to the back visitor side with their teachers. You will see class signs going in order from left to right when looking from the home side. Just find their grade section and drop them with their teachers or aides and you may go find your seat on the home side. If you were here at Christmas, nothing will change. When your child’s portion of the concert is finished, you are free to meet them at the front home side NE entry and take them, or we invite you to stay and watch all of our wonderful performing groups!
We are looking forward to a great night! See you then!
