Please see the following message from Mr. Keech.
It’s time for our Fall Concert once again. Our musicians have worked very hard over the past several weeks, and I’m sure everyone will have a great time.
Here are some important things you may wish to know about the concert:
Concert dress is a red Summit uniform polo and khaki pants. No jeans or shorts, please. Ladies may wear khaki capris if they would like. If a student chooses to wear a dress (either the one-piece red uniform dress or a khaki skirt with their red Summit polo), please wear white tights or white leggings underneath. The short-sleeve red Summit polo is recommended as the lights on stage are very warm.
The concert will begin at 6:30 on Tuesday, November 15. Students that play an instrument will need to arrive in time to tune at 6:00. All other students may arrive by 6:15.
Student safety is always important to us, especially while we are in the community. It is important that you are with your student until you bring them to their teacher.
- Beginner, Pre-Kindergarten, Kindergarten may check your students in with their teachers in the reserved rows on the left side of the audience and then find a comfortable place to enjoy the concert. Beginner, Pre-Kindergarten and Kindergarten students will be dismissed back to sit with their parents after The Alphabet Chant, so be sure to save your child a seat! We ask that students remain with their parents until their classroom teachers arrive.
- 1st Grade, 2nd Grade, 3rd Grade, 4th Grade, and 5th Grade may check your students in with their teachers in the reserved rows on the right side of the audience and then find a comfortable place to enjoy the concert. We ask that students remain with their parents until their classroom teachers arrive.
- MS Students will have reserved seats on the left side of the audience, although they will need to travel backstage well in advance of their numbers in order to prepare their instruments.
- All-Stars will spend the entire concert onstage or backstage.
We ask that students with instruments wait a moment for things to clear before picking them up.
Our concert will be held at The Gillioz this year, located at 325 Park Central E, Springfield, MO 65806.

This Parking Map of Downtown (at the bottom of the page) is really useful
Parking is abundant downtown, but you may have to take a further spot as the concert approaches. We always recommend carpooling and arriving early.
The concert will begin promptly at 6:30 and will last about an hour.
It is understandable that a student may be ill or need to be absent or leave early due to a previous commitment. Please RSVP your teacher and Mr. Keech via email with any regrets.
Footage of our previous concerts can be found here on YouTube or on the Summit Music Blog. Be sure to subscribe, and feel free to share videos from the concert with me; I’d love to be able to share them in our concert playlist.
Thanks for all that you do to make our school great.
