Silver Melted Into Sound: Symphonic Band 

The Symphonic Band performed at Wright State this Friday for the Silver Melted Into Sound festival. They had a wonderful performance and impressed many many people. I have gotten so many compliments from the Wright State professors, judges, parents in attendance, and community members who watched the live stream on the Wright State University School of Fine and Performing Arts: Music Facebook page. 

Here is a link, the Symphonic Band performance starts around 2:20:00 https://fb.watch/knzn82uPZX/ 

Color Guard Meet and Greet 

We are very excited about the new guard staff coming in for the 2023-24 season. There were 19 students and their families who joined us for the meet and greet. Lots of amazing questions by students and parents to show our new staff that the guard program is amazing and deserves amazing coaches and support. Very happy that Jessica L, Abby N, and Addie T will be joining the marching staff for this coming season. 

Band and Orchestra Concert: Monday 5/8, 7pm 

Our final band and orchestra school performance is Tomorrow! We are looking forward to putting on a high energy and fun performance for students and parents alike. We are going to ask that you please do not have phones out and keep conversations to a minimum. We want to show our full support for these students who have worked so hard all year to become better musicians, and more importantly, better people. 

Jazz Band Concert: Tuesday 5/9, 7pm 

Our final Jazz Concert of the year will be this Tuesday. This group has been performing everywhere and impressing over and over again. We are excited to have the Sinclair faculty back for another performance after the Jazz band. The concert will also begin with a small Jazz Combo performing a very modern popular hit. Please join us in celebrating a very successful year for the Jazz Band. 

Choir Concert: Wednesday 5/10, 7pm 

For those of you who were unable to join us at our last Music Booster meeting, we have recently welcomed back the choir into the boosters. We are very happy to be back to a full music family! As a family we need to make sure we are supporting each other. We have a few students who are in both band and choir. If you would like to support the choir as well, please come to the concert on Wednesday at 7pm.

Music in the Parks Performance: 5/13

We want to end this year as successful as possible. Please make sure that you eat before you come to the school! This will be a long day. If you need to pack a lunch for the trip up, this will be permitted.  The dress for this performance is our Marching Band show shirt A Night in the City and either jeans or shorts.
