It's Concert Season!

Has your child ever wondered what it would be like to perform with a choir, orchestra or band?  Maybe he or she already plays an instrument or sings in a community choir? Or maybe you or another family member play or sing at home or in a community group?

Even if you don't participate in music at home, there are many wonderful ways to expose your child to music and most of the time its FREE!  This summer many communities will sponsor free "concerts in the park" series that feature local musical groups of various genres.

But why wait until summer?  The Etown School District has just started spring concert season.  Students in 4th-12th grades will be demonstrating what they have learned this year through several band, choral and orchestral concerts and they are always FREE to the public!

Below is a schedule of upcoming concerts.  All concerts begin at 7:00pm.

April 14  High School Band Concert
May 3  Bear Creek Orchestra Concert
May 12  Bear Creek Choral Concert
May 13 MS/HS Orchestra Concert
May 16 Middle School Band Concert
May 23 MS/HS Choral Concert
May 24 Bear Creek Band Concert

Next year, our current 3rd graders will have the opportunity to select an instrument and join the chorus.  What a wonderful opportunity the above concerts provide as a conversation starter for you and your child about their musical interests!
