Dear Parents:
The North Lawrence Community Schools will be hosting the annual Spring Fine Arts Festival, on April 3, 4 & 6, 2017. As in the past, we will have the combined 6th grade band in concert with the BNL High School Band. Sixth grade instrumentalists from Bedford, Shawswick & Oolitic Middle Schools will be represented. This letter serves as an invitation for your child to be part of this very special program. The band concert will take place on Tuesday, April 4th at 7:00 p.m. in the BNL Performing Arts Center. The NLCS Art Show will take place in the PAC lobby before and after the concert.
Basic preparation for the concert will take place in band class during the regular school day. However, on the morning of Tuesday, April 4th, each group will be transported to the Performing Arts Center for an extended rehearsal with the entire combined group. Each year we look forward to preparing for the Spring Festival and we hope your child will have an exciting time participating
Respectfully,
Eric Berger, Band Director, BMS
Matt Bilik, Band Director, OMS
Kimberly D. Hostetter, Band Director SMS

PARTICIPATION / PERMISSION FORM
___________________________________________________________
Student Name
will be participating in the band festival on April 4th, and has my permission to attend the morning rehearsal on that same day, April 4th.
SHIRTS: As in the past, we will have each student wear an inexpensive shirt with a special logo for the performance and then keep as a memento. Students that participated in the fall or spring fundraiser have already paid for this shirt through fundraising. The cost is just $5 if you weren’t able to participate in fundraising or make a donation. Please return the permission slip and any shirt fee to your band director by March 31. If the cost of a shirt or the deadline creates a problem for you, please talk privately with your director. We value every student’s participation in this event and do not want the shirt or anything else to become an extenuating circumstance.
