Hi! As you may already know, the band has been working very hard these past few months in preparation for the Golden Empire Music Festival held on Saturday, March 24, 2007 at Woodcreek High School. We will begin our final preparation for this competition on Thursday night, March 22nd, at 7:00 p.m. in the Kerr Multi-Purpose Room, when we will perform our competition pieces for the first time at our Pre-Festival Concert.
On Saturday, March 24th, we will be performing in the theatre at Woodcreek High School at 10:00 a.m. We will be traveling on Elk Grove Unified School District buses and will be meeting at Kerr at 6:45 a.m.
While at the music festival, the band will pose for a group photograph. There will be a serious pose and as well as a humorous one. If you would like to purchase ether of these, they can be purchased at the festival for $15 each.
As I mentioned earlier, we have been working diligently towards this competition and I am expecting a fine performance. I hope as many of you as possible will be there to see us -- both Thursday night and Saturday morning -- I know you'll be proud of our kids!! See you there!
Sincerely,
Nancy Kreis
