Dumas Intermediate School

ATTENTION ALL 6th grade BAND Parents,
This is a reminder for the after school practice from 4:00-4:45 on Thursday, and the concert for parents at 4:15 on Friday. There will be a cactus bus for both events if needed and all 6th grade band students are required to be there. They need to wear their band shirt for the concert on Friday.
Also, if you told me about missing orders from the fundraiser, they are in and can be picked up today after school.
Thank you,
Tyler Seward

College Day TOMORROW

DUMAS MUSIC FESTIVAL
Parents and guardians of the Dumas Intermediate Choir:
This is the final letter I am sending about our Choir event THIS SATURDAY. Here is what you need to know about the Dumas Music Festival:
1) Dumas Music Festival is on Saturday, April 18th at Dumas High School. Students must be checked in by no later than 9:25 AM in the Band Hall. ALL STUDENTS in 6th Grade Choir are required to attend the event for a major grade.
2) Students must wear their gray Choir t-shirts, nice jeans, and athletic shoes. No crocs, flipflops, or slip-on shoes of any kind are allowed as concert attire.
3) The choir will perform in the Auditorium at 10:00 AM. Parents are more than welcome to come listen. Since this event is judged by a panel of professionals, please do not come in late or allow noisy young children to disrupt the hard work your children have put in over the past several months.
4) Once the students have finished with the Concert and Sight Reading portions of the contest, they will be led out of the school through the front doors. At that point, they are free to stay and listen to other schools perform or to leave with you for the day.
5) If any student needs a ride from Cactus, there will be a bus that leaves from the Old Cactus Elementary School at 8:00 AM. It will return after the Junior High has finished their part in the festival.
6) IMPORTANT: IF YOUR CHILD CANNOT ATTEND, I must have it in writing before Saturday. Illness or family emergencies are excused absences. Other conflicts, like being out of town for scheduled events, will be dealt with on a case-by-case basis..

If you have any questions or concerns, you can reach out to me by email at kip.white@dumasisd.org. I hope to see all of you come to see and hear the hard work your children have done this year! Have a relaxing Spring Break.

Yours in Song,
Mr. White
