Fifth Grade Orchestra Concert Info 2020-2021
The Fifth Grade Orchestra participates in two concerts:
Wednesday, November 18, 2020, 7:00 pm - Jenison Center for the Arts
This concert is an informal demonstration of all the skills the students have learned in their first few months of orchestra. Students should arrive at the JCA by 6:40 pm. Students should wear nice clothes and should bring their instrument, music book, and all music papers with them. The concert will include a brief 'guest appearance' as well. The concert will last approximately 40 minutes.
Wednesday, May 5, 2021, 7:00 pm, String Spectacular Concert! - Jenison Center for the Arts
This concert will feature the 5th Grade Orchestra, along with the 8th Grade and High School Symphony Orchestras. Students should arrive at the JCA by 6:40 pm, and should leave their cases in the dressing room before reporting directly to the stage to get tuned. Students should wear nice clothes and should bring their instrument, music book, and all music papers with them. This concert will conclude at approximately 8:15 pm.
What to wear:
Orchestra students in the 5th (and 6th) Grade are asked to wear nice clothes when performing at concerts. If possible, it is best to avoid jeans, sneakers, and T-shirts or sweatshirts with logos on them. Female cello players should also avoid shorter or form-fitting skirts, as they don't allow for correct cello posture.
