Welcome Alumni!!
It is so great to finally have a chance to set up an Alumni Concert for all of you! The current HS group is excited to play along with you, and get a chance to see some of you again, and I can not wait to make music again with all of you. Some of you have not played since I saw you last, and that is OK, we have a couple months to change that!!
Included in your packet is a lot of music, and the hope is to get to all of it during the concert, but we shall see. All the pieces, except for SLANE, will be side by side with the current HS group, and they will have performed all of them at some point. If you would like to hear them beforehand, our Spring concert will be on May 3, at 7pm. I know there is a lot of music, so if there is something that you are not comfortable with, you can choose to not perform at the concert, but know that the entire HS group will be there with you!!
**Below is a schedule for you to look at, and this will help you in planning your day with us.**
Friday, MAY 13: An Evening Out (if you wish) - I will plan to go out to eat and enjoy the company with any of the alumni who would like to join me. Location will be determined later, and we have to keep in mind that some of us ARE over 21, and some might not be
Saturday, MAY 14: IN THE AM: My home will be open and graciously accepting you for lunch/snacks/dinner all day long (more info to follow) before we head to KH in the evening. I live in Rockford, and it is about 20 minutes from school. Come hang out with friends, this will be very laid back.
May 14 IN THE PM...Rehearsal Night
6:00pm - Alumni only meet and rehearse in the PAC. SLANE will just be performed by Alumni, so we will work hard on that first!
8:00pm - Rehearsal ends and we head (whoever wants to) to another location to catch up!
MAY 15…DAY OF THE CONCERT
1:00 - Meet in the PAC and have a short meet and greet before starting music. The HS group will join us at this time, and we will run the program, except for the Alumni Only piece.
2:15 - Break/Change outfit (All black is fine, or just look nice!), treats, prepare for concert
3:00 - Concert starts in the PAC. It is FREE, so invite everyone you can!
4:00 - Concert should be over, and we can all go to Culver’s (or somewhere similar) for a celebration!!
The music provided for you is all on youtube, and I have provided a link to each on our KHOrchestra website. Just enter the link below into your browser, and off you go!! If you would like to join us for ANY rehearsal, let me know, and we meet from 10-12:15am on Mondays and Wednesdays, and randomly on Fridays (ask if Friday is best, our schedule is crazy this year) and we would love to have you at school!

FINALLY…
We are starting an alumni database of all parents, former students, and community supporters. If you would be willing to share our google form with others, please send it to anyone who is willing to be added to our database of supporters.
