Dress for the concert:
While I am not requiring specific attire for the concert, I do request that students dress appropriately for the concert. However, because the concert is Broadway themed, if students would like to dress in theme from one of the Broadway shows they are performing from, that would be perfectly appropriate. Please limit themed attire to shoes, pants, shirts/jackets, and simple hats (nothing that would cover the faces of students behind your child). Lastly, and as always, ALL attire (themed or not), should be school appropriate.
Before the concert:
Please arrive at the Alberta Kimball Auditorium by no later than 5:45 pm. At 5:45 pm, please find your child’s classroom teacher and have your child stay with their class. ALL students can find their teacher(s) inside the auditorium. After your child is dropped off with their classroom teacher, please find a seat in the auditorium and enjoy the concert!
After the concert:
Please wait for your child to exit the stage and return to their class before taking them home. Each class will have a section of the auditorium where you can find your child with their classroom teacher.
Parking:
For family and friends attending the concert, parking is available on the north side of Oshkosh West High School.
Concert Specifics:
-
No food or drink is allowed inside the auditorium.
-
Doors to the auditorium open at 5pm. If you would like to come and find a seat, you are welcome. However, please stay with your child until they meet their teachers at 5:45 pm in their designated spots.
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me at (920) 424-0315 ext. 4529 or samuel.joseph@oshkosh.k12.wi.us.
Sincerely,
Mr. Samuel Joseph
General Music Teacher
