Dear Parents/Guardians,
In just a few days, students will be sharing with you our Northside Christmas Program! These concerts will be held next Monday, December 15, 2014, in the High School Auditorium.
In addition, 4th and 5th grade students will be performing at the First Congregational Church for the Geneseo Christmas Walk this Saturday, December 13 at 4:30 p.m. These students should report to the church by 4:20 p.m.
For the Christmas Program, students should plan to arrive at least 15 minutes before their concert begins. Students should report first to their homeroom location and check in with their teacher. Instrumentalists and cast members may then come to the auditorium to setup as needed. At the end of each concert, parents must come to their child’s homeroom and check out with the classroom teacher, even if they are staying for the next concert.
Families: Please enter the auditorium from the main doors and exit through the stage door after the concert.  Those with limited mobility may still exit through the main doors directly after the concert.  Please see the included traffic flow and homeroom map for more information.
Students should wear their holiday best or play costume for the performances. Dress pants and shirts, ties, dresses, skirts, blouses, and sweaters are all acceptable attire. Please make sure that students are also dressed comfortably because they will be standing on the risers for the majority of the performance. Cast member parents: If possible, please have your child show me his or her costume at school before the performance.
Program DVD’s available! D Squared Multimedia will again be filming the Northside performances and making them available on DVD for purchase! As before, all three of the evening’s concerts will be on one DVD. If you are interested in purchasing, please fill out and return the attached form with your payment, or follow instructions to place an order online.
Thank you for your support in preparing your child(ren) for this performance. The students and I are looking forward to sharing it with you!
Sincerely,
Mr. Eckwall
P.S: PLEASE HELP! We are still looking for parents to help set up and take down before and after the performance. If you would be willing to help, please contact me at meckwall@dist228.org or you may call Northside at (309) 945-0625. Thank you for your consideration, and if you have already volunteered!
