CMEA Festival Info

Hello and happy (almost) spring!

The CMEA Large Ensemble Festival is going to be held at Santa Rosa High School on Friday/Saturday, March 28/29. The Hillcrest 7th and 8th grade bands will be performing on Friday, March 28th. This, like the Analy Fall Festival, is a great opportunity for the bands to perform for a panel of adjudicators and receive feedback on their performances.

The 8th grade band will leave Hillcrest by bus at 1:45, warmup at 2:20, perform at 2:50, have a sight reading clinic at 3:15, take a photo at 3:40, and return to Hillcrest at approximately 4:15.

The 7th grade band will leave Hillcrest by bus at 3:30, warmup at 4:05, perform at 4:30, have a sight reading clinic at 4:55, take a photo at 5:20, and return to Hillcrest at approximately 6pm.

Please have your students bring their concert clothes (black pants/shoes/socks, white long sleeve collared shirt) to school on the day of the performance so they can change into them before the bus departs. 

The performance is open to the public. I highly encourage parents, friends, and families to attend the performances so the students have somebody to perform for aside form the adjudicators.

Parents: Please contact me if you are able to help out during the day with bowties/cummerbunds and/or traveling with the students on the bus.

Permission slips will be going home on Monday, the 24th and will be due Friday, the 28th.

Have a great Spring Break!

Mr. Pulley
