The Great Hearts Northern Oaks Winter Concert is quickly approaching. We would love for families to attend! Please note that the date of the concert is Thursday, December 14th at 6:00 PM (K-3) and 7:45 PM (4-7). The concert will be held at Summit Christian Center, 2575 Marshall Rd., San Antonio, TX – 78259.
All sections of each grade will be performing together as a choir, and each grade’s performance is about 10 minutes long. Concert length of Grades K-3 is approximately 45 minutes long, and the concert of Grades 4-7 is about 1 hour long. Students are required to stay for the entire length of their concert (e.g. Kindergarteners, 1st graders, and 2nd graders are required to stay until after 3rd graders are done performing), because they will be graded not just on their performance but also on their concert etiquette. Students are to wear Concert Dress Attire as stated in the Family Handbook. This means boys should wear black shoes and socks, black slacks, black belt, a white oxford style shirt, and a tasteful tie or bow tie preferably in school colors (no pop culture or music ties). Girls should wear black dress shoes (no high heels), black skirt (knee-length or longer), a white blouse (no halter tops or spaghetti straps), and appropriate under-garments.
All K-3 students are asked to be at the church by 5:30 PM to warm-up and prepare for the performance. As students arrive, we will mark their attendance. Warm-up for K-3 will begin at 5:35, so please be prompt. Doors will open for K-3 parents at 5:50 PM. All 4-7 students should arrive at 7:15 PM. Warm up for 4-7 will begin promptly at 7:20 PM. Doors will open for 4-7 parents at 7:35 PM. We kindly ask that parents be respectful of the posted door times. The concert hall has more than enough seats to accommodate everyone in attendance and it is crucial that student preparations remain undisturbed. Please also note that the Summit does not allow balloons or flowers inside the sanctuary. If you have purchased such items for your performer then you may store them at the will call counter until after the concert is over.
Please be advised that student attendance is mandatory and constitutes a significant portion of their semester grade. Only students with a valid excused absence (as outlined in the family handbook) will have an opportunity to complete a makeup assignment. The sheer act of giving a reason for an absence does not EXCUSE the absence. There are no alternative assignments for unexcused absences. If parents have further questions about the concert attendance policy they can speak to Mrs. Keffer or Mr. Shivone.
