Band Concert Community Park Band Spring Band Concert Wednesday May 7, 2025 Our Beginner, Intermediate, and Advanced Bands will perform a spring concert on Wednesday May 7, 2025. There will be two performances, morning and evening. Our morning concert at 9:30 a.m. is for CP’s students. Family and friends are invited to attend our evening concert at 6:30 p.m. in the cafeteria. (For the evening concert, band students are asked to meet in the gym at 6:20 p.m. for tuning and warmups.) The dress code for the day concert is regular school attire. Students will still be attending PE, recess, art, etc. and will need to wear the appropriate clothes to participate in those classes. However, the evening concert is a special event. We do not have a specific dress code, but musicians are allowed to dress up. Please contact me if your child will NOT be able to attend the performance. I look forward to seeing you at the concert. Sincerely, Colleen Farrell Instrumental Music Teacher Community Park Elementary School ColleenFarrell@princetonk12.org
