Dear Ensemble Members and Parents;
We are very excited to tell you that the Ensembles have been accepted to perform for the Music In Our Schools Month Lunchtime Concert at the Pennsylvania State Capitol East Wing on Friday, March 11, 2016!
The students are being asked to meet at 8:00 AM to depart by school bus from the Pottstown High School Band room. Return time is estimated to be 4:30 PM. We will be having a tour of the State Capitol as well as have a group photo taken in the Rotunda. The groups will perform from 12:00 Noon to 1:00 PM. Students will need money for lunch and a souvenir. Dress for this performance will be a “DRESS UP” outfit of your choice! Please try to dress accordingly as we are representing Pottstown in Harrisburg. Skirts on the girls must be at least finger tip in length. NO jeans or sneakers please!
Parents/relatives are invited to attend this concert event. Transportation will only be supplied for the students. Any spectators must drive separately and find parking on their own.
