Bands in Review is a musical celebration for all 8th grade and high school bands district-wide. It’s a fabulous night celebrating music where students get to hear one another perform. Bands in Review is the one concert each year that requires tickets and is our only annual fundraiser for the Tappan Bands. Performers will not need a ticket but parents, siblings and other guests will. Funds from tickets that Tappan students sell comes right back to support the Tappan Bands!
Tickets will be distributed in band tomorrow, Tuesday March 3rd.

Professional dress is expected for this performance as always (no tennis shoes, athletic pants, jeans, etc). Students will need to stay in uniform from the time they arrive until they leave.

Following the 6:30pm dismissal, there will be a performance by Community High School Jazz in the hallway outside of the auditorium. We strongly encourage all students who are attending Pioneer in the fall to stay and watch the second concert so they can watch the Pioneer Bands perform. Please note, if your students attend the second concert, they must be accompanied by an adult, as Tappan directors will be backstage assisting on stage during this time. If your student is attending Huron next year, they are hosting a Bands in Review on Tuesday March 17th at 7pm at Huron. Students will be awarded extra credit if they stay to watch Pioneer or attend the Huron Bands in Review.
