March Concert Information

Our March concert is scheduled for Wednesday, March 21 at 7pm.  (Call time is 6 pm.) This is a special 7th and 8th grade concert that celebrates a different theme each year. This year’s theme is music through the decades.

In preparation, students have been empowered to choose their music, rehearse themselves collaboratively in small groups, and make costume and choreography decisions.  

There are a few items all students will need to bring in from home. If you need support in attaining any of these items, please let me know as soon as possible and I will make the time to help.

black pants and a WCS Performing Arts t-shirt

Additionally, some instrument sections have added on the the following:

Clarinets: one bed pillow with or without a pillow case.

Brass: black shirt
