CONCERT ATTIRE FOR OUR UPCOMING CONCERTS!

Dear Nowlin Families,

A question has been asked of me concerning what should your children wear to our concerts next week, so, I thought I should sent out a post on my blog in regards to this very important questions.

 

There is no requirement for what your children should wear to out upcoming concerts.  If it possible for your children to wear something nice to our concert, then, that is wonderful, but if it is not, that is wonderful, as well.

 

We feel that having your students attend and perform at our upcoming concerts is the most important thing and we want to keep our focus on this.

 

Thank you!

 

Warmly,

Ms. Wilder
