black tops and bottoms.  High School boys should wear long sleeve black 
button up shirts.

We would also like to have a reception after our concert therefore we are 
asking all students to bring something sweet and place it on the reception 
table outside the front of the auditorium prior to the concert.  Mrs. 
LaVictoire, our band liaison will coordinate the reception.  If you are able 
to assist her with the reception, please email Mrs. La Victoire at 
susanpac@sbcglobal.net.

Parents, the first three performing groups will be asked to remain in the 
auditorium until the intermission.  At that time if students have to leave 
they can be dismissed but I hope everyone will stay to hear our Jazz Band.  
My students have all worked hard in preparation for this concert so I hope 
you will stay and enjoy the entire program.  Don't forget, there will be a 
reception at the conclusion of the program.

If you have any questions or concerns, please email me at rdirons@okcps.org
