Harvest Fest Choir Concerts September 22nd

• 

Hello,

I wanted to remind you that this coming weekend is the 29^th Annual Harvest Festival.   4^th and 5^th grade students will perform as part of the Finale Concert this Sunday, September 22^nd.  Our “Out of this World” finale will take place at 4:30 p.m.  in the Geneseo City Park. Please arrive at 4:15.  We also invite you to join us for additional concerts and events starting at 12:00 p.m. There will be a perfect attendance award this year for students who attend all of the year’s performances.  Please have your child wear jeans and a space-themed or solid colored shirt.

We ask that you consider donating some of your time to assist us this weekend.  Thank you to those of you who have already volunteered!  All the proceeds raised this weekend will directly benefit the arts programs in Geneseo.  Here is a link to sign up: https://signup.com/go/JrePSqs

Students may come in to the music room for extra practice this Thursday and Friday morning before school, and Thursday during lunch recess.   Practice tracks and music notation are also available under 4th and 5th at the top of this page.

Please feel free to contact me with any questions at meckwall@geneseoschools.org or (309) 945-0699.  I look forward to seeing you and your child on Sunday.

Thank you for your support of the arts in Geneseo!
