Hello band and orchestra students and parents,
I was so proud of how our kids performed and handled themselves on our Florida trip. They were beautiful representations of the Lord they serve.
1. The symphonic band is performing at Rose Park during our class period tomorrow. The bus will depart promptly at 8:00 a.m. for Rose Park.
2. We are looking forward to our combined choir and orchestra performance of Vivaldi's Gloria on Saturday, April 23, at 7:00 p.m. at Hope College's Dimnent Chapel. All students should arrive at Dimnent Chapel by 6:30 p.m.
3. We will be holding a rehearsal at Dimnent on Friday, April 22 from 2:00 p.m. to 3:00 p.m. at Dimnent chapel. We will be taking a bus to this rehearsal and then back to HCHS. Parents, if you would like your child to drive to this rehearsal please send me an email indicating this.
4. Just a reminder that the jazz orchestra and chamber orchestra will be taking part in Dazzle (a combined concert of Holland area high schools) on Wednesday, May 11 at 8:00 p.m. Tickets are available on the Tulip Time website. We will rehearse there during the school day.
5. In order to prepare for Tulip Time and Memorial Day marching (concert band and symphonic band march together for Tulip Time) HCHS bands will march together on these early mornings. Check out more details and tips for marching rehearsals here.

6. Violinists, are you interested in learning how to fiddle? Check out the Michigan Academy of Folk Music right here in Holland.
7. Knollcrest music camp at Calvin University is another great idea! More details can be found on the website here. Our brochure is attached as well. Here is a one-minute video to give you a quick glimpse of the camp.
I pray that your families have a blessed weekend reflecting on Christ's death and resurrection.
Thank you,
Mr. VB
