March Music Madness: Ides of March and All-Town Band Concert

During this time of year the Music Department seems as if they are in more a sprint than a March!

Not only are many of the students in the middle of preparing for the the music staff and students are also preparing for what some might consider to be the biggest performances of the year.

First, BHS will hold its annual Ides of March Concert this Thursday, March 1, 2012, in the cafeteria of the high school (located at the back of the building). The concert will begin at 7:30 pm. 

The performance is a favorite of many because of its relaxed cabaret atmosphere. The concert will feature the talents of the Burlington High School Chorus and Select Singers under the direction of John Middleton-Cox, and the Burlington High School Concert and Jazz Band, under the baton of Matt Lovell.  

Where else can you take in a fantastic concert free of charge and also partake in light refreshments provided by the Music Boosters Association.

One week after the Ides concert, the high school gynasium will be the venue for the third annual All-Town Band Concert to be held on Thursday, March 8 beginning at 7:00 pm.

The concert will include all levels of the Burlington band program, beginning with the 4^th grade and continuing on through high school level. It provides an opportunity for family and friends to witness the development of the music students and the progression of the program through their public school lives. The band teachers from all Burlington schools are "instrumental" in the planning and also participate in directing the individual groups as well as the combined piece at the end.

The All-Town Band Concert is also free of charge.
