The BORCH Solo and Ensemble date change

Our administrators have given us the finals dates as the week of February 6th, so we will be definitely moving our BORCH Solo & Ensemble concert to next Tuesday, January 31. We usually do this concert before the festival (which is this coming Saturday), but with the circumstances of this past snow week, we will make do and go for Tuesday. We think that this will work well, as the concert usually showcases many of our solos and ensemble groups, not only those who elect to compete at the festival. We hope you can join us! You are in for a treat. Your students will know in the next couple of days if they are performing or not (meaning if they feel ready), and it will be a nice mix of 9th-12th graders. Tuesday, 1/31/12 7 pm SqHS Forum, Choir Room, Band & Orchestra Room We will explain when we begin, for those of you who haven't experienced this concert with us yet! But the gist of it is that you will be able to see "pods" of about 3 performances per pod, and they are a mix of Band, Orchestra and Choir students. For example, one pod might be Storm Men (singers), a saxophone quartet and a cello duo. Another might be percussion Ensemble, Storm Women, and Chamber Orchestra. The pods are happening simultaneously in the 3 venues, you choose one to see at a time, and then you are able to go to another venue (or remain in the one you're already at) for the remainder. We usually have 5 or so pods go, so that we can fit as many performers in as possible, and not have a 5 hour concert. :) We'll explain more clearly when we begin the concert. Last year was our first run at it and it turned out to be a very nice event! Again, we hope you can make it! Kay Reilly
