Good morning 6th and 7th grade band families,
The 6th and 7th Grade Spring Band concert is Thursday May 12th beginning at 6:30pm in the Tappan auditorium.
The following guidelines for middle school concerts are being mandated at the district level:
- 2 audience members may attend per student performer
- Everyone must remain masked at all times
Students should wear their Tappan band shirts and bottoms/shoes of their choice.
Attendance for concerts is mandatory. Every band member is important and we need to know ASAP if someone will be absent so we can make adjustments and ensure all parts are covered. We ask that you make every effort to resolve scheduling conflicts as this is our biggest performance of the year. Please contact Ms. Stout at stoutl@aaps.k12.mi.us with any questions regarding attendance.
