Spring
Concert Performance Schedule
Dear Parents,
We
have a very exciting schedule of upcoming events. We have a number of
performance opportunities for our LMS Bands. The students have been working
hard and I am proud to announce that they are really developing into great
musicians. The music isn’t perfect yet, but it sounds better every week. We
have a couple a few weeks to go and when the time comes I think you will be
very impressed with these groups.
We do not practice as a group
unfortunately so rehearsals are extremely important. A mandatory rehearsal is required for each performing group.
After rehearsal students may be picked up or take the late bus home. Students
who do not participate in these rehearsals may be asked not to perform in the
performance at the discretion of the teacher. In order to look professional and
appropriate at all events students should remember to White Shirts and Black Pants or LMS Band Shirts when
appropriate.
As
always it is very important that all students are at these events. Every member
of our band is important to our success and every one of these playing
opportunities is an educational experience for the students. If a student
cannot attend an event please contact me to let me know. If students miss
concert events they will be asked to do a homework assignment based on the
event to make up for the missed experience.
In
closing. I really can’t wait to see all of you at these performances and if you
would like to lend a hand in any way please contact me. We have a really great
band program here at Lincoln Middle School thank you for your commitment and
contributions as we continue our success.
Thank You For Your Support,
Mr. Casale LMS Band Director

All rehearsals are from 2:30pm to 3:30pm after school. Late buses
are available if students need them.
NOTE: All concerts
are mandatory and count towards the student’s grade. It is a culmination of all of the hard
work the students have done leading up to the performance.
Rehearsals are few and very important to our ability to perform as a group.
Therefore, they are mandatory for all students. If students do not
attend they may be asked to sit out during the concert. If you have a
“legitimate” reason for not attending a note must be provided. Ie. Doctors
Note, Family on Vacation in Florida etc.
