Where are the Concerts? What time?
Our concerts are held in the Montgomery County High School Gymnasium. Why not the middle school? Because of the size of our program we want to insure good parking, good seating, handicap seating and parking, and space for our performers to warm up and perform.
We ask that all students arrive at the High School Band Room at 6:30 pm to warm up and get seated for our performance. We will begin our concert promptly at 7:00 pm. Feel free to video and take pictures as we perform, this is a great moment of accomplishment for your student and I am sure a very proud moment for you as well parents. Please stay for the entire concert. We will conclude our concert at approximately 8:00 pm.
