Hi all,

On Saturday, May 6th, all of the concert and jazz bands from throughout the DJUSD junior and senior high schools will be performing in Central Park in a performance we have titled, “The Festival of the Arts.” New to this event are performances of the jazz bands, showcasing the wonderful band ensembles we have throughout this district.

Here is the schedule for the day:
10:00am - 10:25am: Emerson/Da Vinci Jazz Band
10:25am - 10:50am: Emerson/Da Vinci Concert Band
10:50am - 11:15am: Harper Junior High Jazz Band
11:15am - 11:40am: Harper Junior High Concert Band

12:30pm - 12:55pm: DHS Jazz Band
12:55pm – ~1:30pm: DHS Combined Symphonic and Concert Bands

The call time for the DHS Bands (ALL MEMBERS from Concert, Jazz, and Symphonic) is 12:00pm (NOON).

Attire: Everyone will wear their Blue DHS Band Polo and blue jeans. You do not need to wear a specific type of shoe, but you may not be barefoot for this event.

Everyone is responsible for bringing the following on their own to this event:
            • Musical instrument
            • Sheet music
            • Additional equipment, as necessary (e.g. sticks, mallets, mutes, etc…)

Stage Crew Managers for Symphonic and Jazz Bands – Chiara, Aaron, and Marissa – will have a sign-up sheet posted soon for assistance in producing this event. If you need (or would like) to earn “You Choose” points, please sign up for this shift when the list is posted:
Noon to 2:30pm – We will be setting up the two ensembles at the same time and everyone will be seated as soon as possible after 12:30pm Hence, we need a lot of help with chairs, equipment moving, music stand moving, sounds system set-up, and associated organization before, during, and after the concert. This event is worth +50 points per participants.

*Special Note: I realize this is the same day as the SAT test. If you are participating in this test, please contact Mr. Slabaugh ASAP to make arrangements for your late arrival.

WEATHER: In the event the weather is inclement (yes, it rained out last year), I will send a notification via email if the event is cancelled. If you do not receive an email, the event is happening.
