Happy Monday GEB!
Below you will find all of the details for this week (05/18/20-05/22/20).
Congratulations to all of the students who have auditioned for an ensemble and leadership position (if applicable) for the 2020-2021 school year.
Students – thank you for getting all of your videos (400+) submitted in such a timely fashion and making all of the directors so proud of your preparation level, especially during these unprecedented times. We truly have a great family here in the GEB! Please see TWIGEB email for ensemble/leadership results (alphabetical order). As always, be supportive and proud of each other. Regardless of any role or position you might have earned (or not), we appreciate and love that each one of YOU is a part of our program!

REMINDER – May/June Camps Cancelled
From RISD – Richardson ISD’s fine arts summer camps scheduled to take place at the end of May through the end of June have been cancelled. A decision about rescheduling these camps or holding camps that are currently scheduled for July will be based on guidance from health authorities and elected leaders. This includes private music lessons on campus as well as any camps off campus that involve RISD students and staff.
All RISD fine arts students will be cleaning out lockers and picking up marching instruments in July, at the absolute earliest. We will keep you posted with dates/times.
