Urgent: Winter Concert Preparation – Immediate Attention Needed!
Dear ESMS Music Students and Parents/Guardians,
As we approach the Winter Concert on December 11, all students must take responsibility for their practice outside class. This is not optional—practice is essential for our success individually and as a group.
- Each student has an instrument assigned to them, and these instruments are available to check out for home practice. Students can also come during lunch to practice in the music room.
-2nd-year students are required to practice a minimum of 120 minutes (2 hours) per week.
- Next week, we will begin full rehearsals on stage with the complete concert set list, so students must come prepared.
As we get ready for Fall Break, I have prepped students and told them that their assignment over break is to take their instruments home to practice their concert repertoire. We are training muscles, ears, and minds—practice is critical to achieving a successful performance. Please talk to your child about the importance of self-motivation and how their effort contributes to the success of the entire group.
We need everyone to be fully committed as we prepare for the concert. I will be sending out more information on the concert day and attire next week.
If you have any questions or concerns, don’t hesitate to reach out to me at [email protected].
Thank you for your support!

The time has come! We are 4 days away from our spring concert on May 30th 2024. As we're working steadily toward a strong end of the year, we're asking for the following to help our concert go smoothly. By now our students are pros with concert dress but if you need help, there is a link in the text that was sent and also on the school website if you look up my class page, you will see a link to a picture with examples of what is appropriate to wear. Remember formal wear: white top black bottom or all black or a white black mix. No sandals, no jeans or sweats! It is their last big performance for all of you so we want the students to look their best!
For the afternoon of the concert, we are asking that Orchestra students meet at 3:30 after school to rehearse with Period 4. At 4:30 we're asking the guitar students to meet to combine periods One and two to rehearse and at five Mariachi students are expected to arrive. We are staggering arrival times so that each group has time to rehearse on stage and know the routine of the show. If students know they cannot make it home to change, they will need to bring the clothes with them in the M building first thing in the morning.
The concert itself starts at 6:00PM and it should only last one hour, finishing at 7:00PM. All students are expected to stay until the end of the concert to help clean up. Remember: the student concert is also considered their final so please speak to your child about the importance of attending and performing in this last big performance of the year.
If you have any questions regarding any part of this concert or the information please give me a call at 323-224-4700. Thank you for all your support!
¡Ha llegado el momento! Estamos a 4 días de nuestro concierto de primavera el 30 de mayo de 2024. Mientras trabajamos de manera constante para lograr un buen final de año, pedimos lo siguiente para ayudar a que nuestro concierto se desarrolle sin problemas. Ahora nuestros estudiantes son profesionales con vestimenta de concierto, pero si necesita ayuda, hay un enlace en el texto que se envió y también en el sitio web de la escuela, si busca la página de mi clase, verá un enlace a una imagen con ejemplos de lo que es apropiado usar. Recuerde la ropa formal: parte superior blanca, parte inferior negra o completamente negra o una combinación de blanco y negro. ¡Sin sandalias, sin jeans ni sudaderas! ¡Es su última gran actuación para todos ustedes, así que queremos que los estudiantes luzcan lo mejor posible!
Para la tarde del concierto, pedimos que los estudiantes de Orquesta se reúnan a las 3:30 después de clases para ensayar con el Periodo 4. A las 4:30 pedimos que los estudiantes de guitarra se reúnan para combinar los periodos Uno y Dos para ensayar y a las cinco Se espera que lleguen los estudiantes de Mariachi. Estamos escalonando los tiempos de llegada para que cada grupo tenga tiempo de ensayar en el escenario y conocer la rutina del espectáculo. Si los estudiantes saben que no pueden llegar a casa para cambiarse, deberán traer la ropa al edificio M a primera hora de la mañana.
El concierto en sí comienza a las 6:00 p.m. y solo debería durar una hora, terminando a las 7:00 p.m. Se espera que todos los estudiantes se queden hasta el final del concierto para ayudar a limpiar. Recuerde: el concierto estudiantil también se considera el final, así que hable con su hijo sobre la importancia de asistir y actuar en esta última gran actuación del año.
Si tiene alguna pregunta sobre cualquier parte de este concierto o la información, llámeme al 323-224-4700. Gracias por todo su apoyo!
