Dear Music Families,
A quick reminder that Glen Burnie Park Elementary’s Winter Concert is Thursday, December 4, 2025, in the cafeteria.
The performance begins at 6:00 PM, and all performers should arrive by 5:40 PM.
Only students in Chorus, Band, and Strings will perform. Because performance is an important part of music class, all members are encouraged to participate. If your child cannot attend, please send a note to their music teacher.
Students should wear black pants and a white shirt for the evening performance. To help everyone enjoy the show, we will continue two audience guidelines:
Picture Time: Once each group is in place, there will be a moment for photos before the performance begins.
Filming Area: If you would like to record, please stand to the side of the audience seating and keep the center aisle clear.
Thank you for helping make this a positive experience for all. We can’t wait to share the music your children have been working on!
