  • Tear down crew- please help put chairs, risers, piano, stands, equipment back to the band/choir room. Bonus points available (Do what needs to be done to earn your points-points will be awarded based on your involvement)
  • It is asked that all performers stay for the entire concert.  It is only polite and good concert manners.  This is more than just a performing opportunity – it is also a LISTENING and LEARNING opportunity!
