Jamboree 6th Grade

Dear 6th Grade Parents,

Your child's Jamboree concert at Harrison is Tuesday! Please make sure your child brings the following items to school Tuesday:

1. A folding music stand if they have one ~ labeled with their name

2. Instrument ~ labeled with their name (Cellos who have their own instrument need to bring their cello tuesday morning to school!)

3. Rock stop (cello and bass only) and shoulder rest (violin and viola) ~ labeled with their name 

3. Music Binder

4. DMS Music Polo, nice Jeans, and closed toe shoes (Please wear this to school, tennis shoes are fine) 

Chaperones, please arrive at Durham by 3:45 for a brief meeting, and make sure you have a way to get back to your car! Students will depart from Durham by county transportation after school. This is a one way trip to Harrison. You will need to provide transportation after the performance. Rehearsal for the concert begins at 5:30 p.m. in the Harrison High School gymnasium. There will

be a short supper break from 6:30 until 7:15. The concert will start at 7:30 p.m.

Parents: Please arrive no later than 7:20 p.m. so you may hear our performance. Please

allow plenty of time to find parking. If your child is using a school cello or bass, you will be responsible for returning the instrument back to Durham after the concert Wednesday morning. (if you need to return an instrument Tuesday night, please email us back.)  ALL STUDENTS MUST HAVE A RIDE AT HARRISON BY 8PM! Please come attend their concert if you can! :) Email us if you have any questions or concerns. 

Thank you so much!

Jennifer Aikey and Selena Sanchez
