On Friday, May 5th, our music students will be participating in music festival competition at Milpitas High School where they will be performing music that they have been working on in the 2017 school year. As one of many schools participating in this event, Kennedy students will not only get the chance to perform, but will support other Kennedy performance groups and get a chance to listen to other school’s ensembles.
Participating music students will be excused from school at 2:15 pm and will return to Kennedy for pick up around 8:15 pm. They should wear or bring a white button up shirt, black slacks/skirt, nice black shoes, and music tie (provided).
Parents are welcome to attend the following performance times:
- Advanced Orchestra: 4:25pm
- Intermediate Orchestra: 5:15pm
- Intermediate Band: 6:05pm
- Advanced Band: 6:55pm
On Saturday, May 6th, Kennedy music student will attend an optional (but highly recommended) field trip to California’s Great America. Here, we will be spending a day in the amusement park and attending an awards ceremony for all of the music programs that have attended the festival for the weekend of May 5th and 6th. The music program will come home with a trophy which will rank our placement among the rest of the schools.
Students will meet in the music room at 11:30 am to depart and will return at Kennedy around 7:15pm. The students will be traveling by bus. They should wear a Kennedy Music T-shirt, closed in shoes, and sunscreen. You can purchase a Kennedy Music T-Shirt through the new Kennedy Music Store.
