Concert Festival - Wind Ensemble & 7th Grade Symphonic
This event is the culmination of our year's preparation. It is an adjudicated contest to evaluate our performance as a musical ensemble. Cario Band has received straight superior ratings (the highest rating) every year they have performed. This is what your student has been working so hard towards throughout the year and at those early morning rehearsals! This year Concert Festival will be held at Burke H. S.
- Wind Ensemble will perform Wednesday, March 31st at 5:45.
- 7th Grade Symphonic will perform Thursday, April 1st at 4:15.
Students will leave from Cario during the school day and travel by bus to Burke H.S. They will return the same way to Cario. A more detailed schedule will be sent in the coming week. They must bring their concert uniforms to school and will change at school prior to boarding the buses. Students will be provided a snack before their performance.
