Concert Tomorrow!

It's time for our mid-season concert! I'm so excited to hear it. They are sounding wonderful during rehearsal!

Concert Date-February 24th.

Location: Ridgeline High School-180 N 300 W, Millville Ut

Pull into the parking lot on the north side of the school. It says auditorium over the doors. The auditorium is to the right when you enter. We are meeting in the orchestra room. If you are facing the auditorium entrance go down the hall on the left side to find the orchestra room. I will be out in the lobby to direct you :)

Call Time-12:30

Sound Check-12:45-1:15

Concert-3:00

No music or folders will be handed in tomorrow. Keep everything - because now you have your last concert's music! Practice!

We need some help with cleanup once the concert is finished. It shouldn't take more than a few minutes. Let me know if you can stick around to pick up the chairs and stands.

Concert Expectations

-Be early to everything!

- Please be courteous when unpacking. Leaving items in front of doors is a major hazard. The last thing we want is someone hurt or an instrument damaged because they had to step over your stuff. Keep all doors to the room clear.

-Do not touch any equipment in the orchestra room or back stage. If you use a chair or stand in the orchestra room, please put it back.

-Absolutely no food or drink in the orchestra room or auditorium.

-Please do not wander the school. During your down time you are welcome to stay in the orchestra room, quietly sit in the auditorium, sit in the hallway, or enjoy the outdoors if it's not too cold.

- Everyone is expected to be in the auditorium during the concert supporting our amazing Wind Ensemble and Symphony groups. NUYCO members can put their instruments away after performing and then sit with their families.  

Concert Attire

Gentelmen: white shirt, non-distracting tie, black pants, black socks, black shoes

Ladies: white shirt, black pants/skirt, black socks, black shoes

I think that's everything. I'll see you tomorrow!

Date: Feb 22nd (dress rehearsal day)

Time: 11am-9pm

You can either print this voucher off or show them a digital copy of the voucher for the money to go towards NUYE. You MUST show the voucher before you checkout. It can be used for dining in or take out. The more fliers that are brought in, the more money we make! You can share the flier with grandparents, aunts, uncles, friends, and neighbors!
