Recital on This Sunday Jan 29th
This Sunday, January 29, Edmonds-Woodway Music Department is holding it's annual Ensemble/Chamber Music Recital.  Only the ensembles and chamber groups will be playing.  Unfortunately there won't be time to hear the student solos as there are just too many students registered!

The recital will be in the EWHS Little Theater. Groups have been instructed to sign-up for one of  three sessions which include either the 1:30, 3:00 or 4:30 time slots.  Groups will play for their peers and will receive feedback.  Each session should last about 60-75 minutes. Performers and audience will be expected to stay and supportively listen to all of the ensembles during their session (but not all three sessions). We would love to have parents and family join us for this free event.

Students should dress up in formal attire but are not required to wear their band, choir or orchestra uniform. The band room will be opened around 12:30pm if you’d like to meet in advance and warm-up. Please contact your teacher if you have any questions.

Solo/Ensemble on Saturday Feb 4th
The Solo/Ensemble contest will be held at the Lynnwood High School on Saturday February 4th. This is an all day adjudicated event - but students only need to be there a half an hour or more before their performance time to warm up and check the schedule; their teacher will let them know when to arrive. To find times, check the schedule below; looking under the name of the teacher for your student's time and room location.
