Concert Schedule Update

Dear Parents and Fine Arts students at Durham,

We wanted to take an opportunity to inform you of some calendar changes for the end of the year concerts.  We have decided to sponsor a Spring Spectacular Concert for 8th Grade and that will replace all current spring concerts on the school calendar, including Chorus Variety Show.  Each grade level will still have a spring concert in each discipline, but they will all be separate to alleviate overcrowding in the auditorium and parking lots. 

Eighth grade will participate in a new SPRING SPECTACULAR.  Band, Chorus and Orchestra will combine for this eighth grade event.  It will be hosted outside on the Field, “pops in the park” style. 

Sixth and Seventh Grade will continue their normal spring concerts.

Here is the Spring concert schedule for all grade levels:
All Concerts begin at 6:30pm
April 21           6th Grade Chorus
April 22           6th Grade Band
April 23           7th Grade Chorus
April 27           7th Grade Orchestra
April 28           7th Grade Band
April 29           6th Grade Orchestra
April 30           8th Grade Spring SPEC
May 4              8th Grade Spring SPEC Rain Date

Thank you so much for your support of our Fine Arts programs here at Durham.  We are always striving to create the best programs possible for our students.

Fall Scheduling For 7th Grade

Dear Parents and Students, We hope that all of you are doing well and being safe in these trying times.  As we look forward to next year we are trying to put together our schedule for classes.  In 7th Grade Band we have full band classes meaning brass, woodwind, and percussion would all be in the same class together.  In combining all of the students we place them into classes based on auditions at the end of the year.  These auditions include scales, prepared music, and sight reading.  If you are interested in being considered for the Symphonic class please indicate this on the form attached, anyone not taking an audition will automatically be placed in the Concert class.  We have attached a form to fill out for our schedule for next year, all students need to complete this form. bit.ly/Rising7thGrade          Thank You, Matt Segars      Selena Sanchez

7th and 8th Grade Band

Hello! We are looking forward to seeing you! During digital learning there will not be a split between beginning and advance band. All brass and percussionists are in one period and all woodwinds are in the other. We will return to  split level ensembles when we are back to face-to-face instruction. Please disregard the course name.  We will not be offering the double-block band option until we are back to face-to-face instruction. If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to email us at durhambands@gmail.com Yay Band!
