Graduation Information for Band

Graduation will be held at the Hanover Theater on Friday June 3rd. The Hanover Theater is an absolutely beautiful venue and we are honored to have the opportunity to play there again this year. Unfortunately, space constraints in the pit at the theater will limit participation for band members this year. We will plan to have a group of about 35 student musicians. That list will be sent out in the coming days.  This will give us a relatively balanced instrumentation and numbers that should allow us to fit in the pit.


The schedule for the upcoming graduation rehearsals and ceremony:

Thursday June 2nd
 9am Graduation rehearsal in the GHS Auditorium
Band members performing at graduation will be part of this rehearsal

Friday June 3rd
8am Band students will load bus to go to the Hanover Theater for morning rehearsal
Students will return to the school by 11am

4:30pm Band students will load the bus to bring us to the Hanover Theater for the graduation ceremony
At the conclusion of the ceremony, a bus will return us to GHS (approx. 7:45-8PM)

Concert attire is BLACK AND WHITE!
