Hello, First, Second, and
Third Grade Families!
We hope this finds you well! Our students have been working so
hard on new musical skills that are years beyond grade level! This email
contains information about an exciting upcoming performance opportunity.
Performance and Event Information
On Friday April 12th, Pinebrook will be hosting its second World Bazaar event. We are so
thrilled that the PTA brings this amazing multicultural celebration to our
school! We are excited and honored to have been invited to perform again this
year. To that end, we wanted to feature our first, second, and third graders at
this well-attended event.
Our first grade students will be performing a Japanese folk
song; our second grade students will be performing a Nigerian folk song; and
our third graders will be performing a Mexican folk song. Each performance will
last no more than ten minutes. While this event is not mandatory, we hope that
every family is already planning to attend this event and that the vast
majority of our families will join us. This is your child’s only featured
public performance for the school year, so we hope that is some extra
motivation to attend! The event is incredible and we know you will have a
wonderful time!
Attire and Schedule
Students have the choice of wearing an outfit that represents
their culture, or wearing Pinebrook spirit wear with school-appropriate
bottoms. While we hope that you will attend the entire event which begins at 6:00pm,
please have students report no later than the following times:
1st: report by 6:45pm, perform at 7:00pm, done by 7:15pm
2nd: report by 7:00pm, perform at 7:15pm, done by 7:30pm
3rd: report by 7:15pm, perform at 7:30pm, done by 7:45pm
Specific report locations will be communicated closer to the
event. If you arrive early and are enjoying the event, we will announce holding
areas and report times over the microphone.
Volunteers
We are in need of several parent volunteers to supervise each
grade while they are waiting to perform. The three music teachers will need to
lead each group and help them transition in and out of the gym. If you are
willing to wait with your child’s group in their holding area and ensure that
all students are safe and exhibiting respectful behavior, and walk them back to
their holding area for dismissal, we would be so grateful! You will absolutely
still be able to watch them perform, as you’ll follow them into the gym and
exit with them. If you are willing to volunteer in this capacity, please let us
know using the RSVP form below. Thank you for considering!
RSVP
Please RSVP using the link below so we know who to expect and
how many instruments to set up. Since the event is after school hours and not
an official field trip, each child needs to be accompanied by a responsible
adult. There is no formal checkout process – please reunite with your child in
their holding area after the performance.
