Fine Arts Night

Greetings family and friends of MVSU Performing & Visual Arts Students!

We hope this message finds you well. Preparations are well underway for our first annual Fine Arts Night celebration, held at the Woodstock Union High School & Middle School on Thursday, April 3rd. We are excited to be inviting artists, actors, and musicians from all of the Mountain Views Supervisory Union. With over 650 students participating, it is sure to be an exciting event! The purpose of this letter is to provide you with logistical information regarding both the daytime rehearsals and nighttime event.

DAYTIME REHEARSAL - Musicians only

All music students will report to their school. Students not on the WUHSMS campus will then travel via school bus and return after lunch at WUHSMS. Students should bring a bag lunch for the day. 

Rehearsals will begin at 9:10 am in the WUHSMS large gym and end at 11 am. Following rehearsals all students will eat together. Students will leave WUHSMS at 11:30 pm.

EVENING EVENT

Art Galleries - Open 5:30 pm - 8 pm with works visible throughout the school

Performance - 6:30 pm

Call time for the performance will be 6:15 pm sharp. Musicians will report to the gym (each school will have a designated area) to drop off personal belongings and to get any materials needed for the performance. Concert dress will be the Fine Arts t-shirt they will create during the morning rehearsal.

CALL FOR VOLUNTEERS

We would love to have light refreshments as part of this immersive experience (a la a gallery opening). We are also looking for assistance with setting up and tearing down. If you are willing and able please indicate your capacity to do so by completing this Volunteer Form.

ARRIVAL & PARKING

We expect this event to be well attended. Please consider additional time for parking in your travel plans.

Art galleries will be open for all to enjoy beginning at 5:30 pm. 

High school music students will be in the lobby of the main entrance directing musicians to their respective locations upon arrival. Families can help facilitate the flow of traffic by reporting to the large gym and finding a seat to enjoy the concert. 

We hope this information proves to be helpful as we make our final preparations for Thursday, April 3rd. Please feel free to contact your fine arts educator with any additional questions you may have. We look forward to seeing you soon!

All our best,

MVSU Fine Arts Educators
