Upcoming performances for Terra Linda Band

Thursday, April 9: Joint concert at Elk Ridge Middle School, 7:00pm
 Be at Elk Ridge by 6:00 to practice our joint songs with Elk Ridge and Welby (address for Elk Ridge is 3659 West 9800 South)
 Please wear “Sunday best”
 We will be playing Eagle Summit March and Happy Birthday on our own, and combining with Elk Ridge and Welby to play Clog Dance and Silver Rocket
 Invite anyone who would like to come

Tuesday, April 14: Assembly at Terra Linda, 2:30pm
 Students will be called down to the gym at 2:15
 Please wear nice clothes, doesn’t have to be “Sunday best” but something nice (slacks, shirt with collar, etc.)
 We will be playing Eagle Summit March, Clog Dance, Let’s Go Band, and maybe Pirates of the Caribbean, plus a few other shorter pieces. Hopefully Star Wars as well.
 Parents and/or grandparents are welcome to attend

Thursday, April 16: Monster concert at Herriman High school, starting at 4:15pm
 Students need to be at Herriman High school by 4:15 to rehearse (address for Herriman is 11917 South 6000 West). It takes a long time to get everyone set up on stage so the sooner you can get there the better.
 We will rehearse on stage from 4:15 until 6:15.
 At 6:15 we will have a break for dinner. Students need to bring a sack lunch for dinner and we will eat in the cafeteria at the school. Families are welcome to eat with their students.
 For those who are interested, we will be chipping in to get some pizzas for dinner. There will be a sign-up form later for those who want to chip in for pizza. (This is not required)
 At 6:45 we will need to clean up after ourselves (leave the cafeteria cleaner than we found it) and be back on stage to warm-up.
 The concert begins promptly at 7:00 and will probably last about 35 minutes.
 Students can bring water bottles since it will be difficult to get on and off the stage to get drinks during the rehearsal.
 If students have their own music stands they are welcome to bring them, just make sure they’re labeled. Folding stands often look exactly the same!
 All students need to wear plain white shirts (doesn’t matter what kind), dark pants/skirts and dark socks and shoes.
 We will be playing Montego Bay, Rainbow Connection, Eagle Summit March, Clog Dance, Pirates of the Caribbean, Silver Rocket, and Let’s Go Band.
 After the concert we’ll need help cleaning up the chairs and stands.

After the monster concert we will continue to have band as usual until the end of April.
