Winter Choral Concerts - Tuesday, February 25

Dear Gregory Chorus Families,

We are fast approaching our next chorus concert evening - Tuesday, February 25, 2025 in the Gregory East Gym. This is a big night for all of our choral groups at Gregory as it is our culminating curricular event for Q3!

The following is the schedule for the evening:

5:00pm - Concert Choir in place in the West Gym for warmup & run-through

5:10pm - Men's Ensemble in place in the West Gym for warmup & run-through

5:30pm - 6th Grade Chorus in place in the West Gym for warmup & run-through

6:00pm - CONCERT in the East Gym (6th Grade Chorus, Men's Ensemble, Mixed Vocal Ensemble, & Concert Choir)

7:00pm - 7th Grade Chorus in place in the West Gym for warmup & run-through

7:10pm - 8th Grade Chorus in place in the West Gym for warmup & run-through

7:30pm - CONCERT in the East Gym (7th Grade Chorus, 8th Grade Chorus, Men's Ensemble, Mixed Vocal Ensemble, & Concert Choir)

Please note: students in our extracurricular ensembles (Men's Ensemble, Mixed Vocal Ensemble, & Concert Choir) will perform the same set of music in BOTH concerts; these students are required to attend both performances, but parents of those students need only attend the grade level concert of their student. As it will be a long evening for them, students in these ensembles should plan to have an early dinner (singers should not perform on an empty stomach!), and that homework and other tasks are completed in advance of the concert night as much as possible.

Attire for the evening is the gray Gregory Music polo shirt, black pants (no jeans/capris/skirts/sweatpants), and black shoes (if wearing socks, they should be black as well).

Looking forward to a terrific evening of music-making with our young vocal musicians!

Triptych Concert Information

Dear Chorus Families,

Below are a few reminders and updates regarding our Triptych Concerts next week on Tuesday, December 10th in the Gregory East Gym.   Please read everything carefully.

*********

All 6th Grade Chorus and Men's Ensemble students need to arrive at Gregory Middle School on the morning of the concert day (Tuesday, December 10) wearing their music uniform (gray Gregory Music polo shirt, black pants, black shoes), as those students will be performing during the school day. Students will not have time to change before the concert.
6th Grade & Men's Ensemble parents: you are invited to attend, and may come to either performance time (12:45pm or 2:00pm, but there is generally more open seating at the 2:00pm concert)! To those planning on attending, we have a few reminders regarding the logistics for those performances since they are occurring during the school day:

  1. Do not park in the circle drive.  This area must remain open for buses and/or emergency vehicles during school hours.  You may park in the staff parking lot as well as on neighborhood streets.
  2. All attendees must enter Door #4 (near the gym) for the concert.  That door will unlock at 12:30 for the 12:45 performance and at 1:45 for the 2:00 performance.  You will not be permitted to enter Door #1.  Please do not use the buzzer to enter there.  Go directly to Door #4 near the gym.
  3. All audience members will be asked to exit the building promptly following the 2:00pm concert. Parents may not remain inside the building to take their child home with them before 3:00.  Students will be dismissed at the 3:00pm bell ending the school day.

*********

7th Grade Chorus & Mixed Vocal Ensemble - students report to the Chorus Room at 5:15pm (Mixed Ensemble) & 5:30pm (7th Grade Chorus) for warmup & run-through; concert begins at 6:00pm.

8th Grade Chorus - students report to the Chorus Room at 7:00p for warmup & run-through; concert begins at 7:30pm.

Attire for all performing groups that evening is the gray Gregory Music polo shirt, black pants, and black shoes.

All are invited to attend our concerts, and there are no tickets…simply show up to the East Gym prior to the concert time and find a seat!

We are very excited to share all of the hard work the students have put into preparing for these performances.
