Current Band Holiday Concert Plans
According to the current COVID regulations put on the performing arts, as of right now, we can not perform a concert indoors with an audience. While we do certainly have some live streaming options, it is always much more preferred to play live for an audience whenever possible. We have reserved Thursday, December 10th on the Calendar to put on an outdoor concert on the covered Patio between the Fine Arts hallway and the Art classrooms. Audience members will be able to bring chairs and blankets and spread out on the grass lawn. If the weather doesn’t work for us (it is December in Texas), then we will likely move back indoors and live stream the performances.
