Good Afternoon ROCmusic Families,
I am very excited that finally our awesome ROCmusic students will get to perform on a concert with the RPO. The COVID Rules currently prevent us from performing at Kodak Hall or with the full orchestra at all. However, both the RPO and ROCmusic are committed to this experience for our students. We will be presenting a concert with two RPO chamber ensembles: String Quartet and Brass Quintet! The students will get to rehearse, share a meal, and perform with musicians from the RPO.
For this event our Readiness Strings Will wear:
their new Blue shirts (to be passed out next week), black/dark Pants, and dress/dark shoes. Yes, if it is cold on May 11/12 the student should wear a long sleeve underneath their ROCmusic Shirt.
For this even our studio Strings and Brass/ HCT students will wear:
their Red ROCmusic Shirts, black/dark Pants, and dress/dark shoes. Yes, if it is cold on May 11/12 the student should wear a long sleeve underneath their ROCmusic Shirt.
Dinner for both nights will be pizza, drink, and a dessert. WE WILL NEED PARENT ASSISTANCE TO FEED THE STUDENTS - please email info@rocmusic.org if you are willing to assist.
