Shooting for the Stars
Monday, January 7th, 2013
Our March concert will feature the Mars and Jupiter movements of Gustav’s Holst’s suite, “The Planets.” There will also be music from both the Star Trek and Star Wars movies, Sousa’s “Transit of Venus March,” and an exciting new composition entitled “Shooting Stars” by Richard Saucedo. To round out the evening, the band will play a transcription of Shostakovich’s Festive Overture. More information will be posted as it is available.

Creepy Cafeteria
Friday, October 19th, 2012
Our 5th annual children’s Halloween concert is right around the corner on Tuesday October 30th at 7:00pm. Please join us in the Longfellow Cafeteria. It’s a slight change from our usual location (the stage is unavailable) but we will either have signs posted in halls or guides at the entrances to help you find us. It’s pretty easy to find and is located on the west end of the lower level of the school.
Anyone, any age, receives FREE ADMISSION when you come in costume! Otherwise, adults $5, seniors and students $3.
There will be a variety of classical music with entertainment for the kids including a costume parade, scavenger hunt, and the narrated tale of Peter and the Wolf. Giselle, a hula hoop and mime artist, will also make a special appearance. Refreshments will be served after the concert. (more…)
