Final Spring Concert
The final concert of the year is on Wednesday, May 21 at 6:30.
That's right, it STARTS and 6:30pm.
This concert is being called the "Promise Concert" and it will be a
major event for the "Walking the PATH Campaign" to build a new Fine
Arts facility on campus. We pray that God will lead our
federation to bravely move forward with this great blessing to our
students, congregations, and community.
Students will NOT be wearing their uniforms. Instead they will
wear the following:
Symphonic Band: To be announced.
Wind Ensemble: Dark dress pants and a nice BLUE top with no
graphics. It must be blue (any shade). Wear dress shoes
and dark socks as well.

Scholarships and Summer Camps
Several of our seniors have already been offered thousands of
dollars in scholarships to play their instruments and not all of
them are music majors! How do you do that? Start by
taking lessons. A $4000 scholarship is easily attainable if
you take lessons throughout high school and practice regularly.
Did you know that it is more likely to earn money in music
scholarships than athletic scholarships?
Another great way to get a music scholarship is to attend a music
summer camp. There are several around the country. This
will give you an opportunity to greatly improve and develop a
relationship with the top music professors around the country.
