First Annual Spring Music Showcase May 21

Summary : Join Us.

Save the Date!

Our first annual Spring Music Showcase will take place on Thursday, May 21 at Lincoln HS! We are so excited to try out a larger, more professional performance space with room enough for our whole community to gather and celebrate our BF Day musicians this year. Tentative call time for musicians is 5:30 p.m., with the show set to begin at 6 p.m. Keep checking the Dayette for more information after Spring Break.

Grade levels will be taking walking field trips to Lincoln during the school day to practice on the big stage.

What For More Info From Your Child’s Teacher

Be on the lookout for more information from your child’s teacher (permission slip, chaperone request, etc.) when we return from Spring Break.

Entire B.F. Day Community Is Welcome

We are looking forward to welcoming our entire B.F. Day community in this beautiful space that better accommodates all our families for the evening event. Students are excited to share what they’ve been learning in music class this year! We will have special guests and a memorable grand finale that you won’t want to miss.

Adults Needed May 19 & May 21

We also need some big strong adults with big vehicles to help schlep instruments (xylophones, drums, ukuleles, etc.) from BF Day to Lincoln on Tuesday May 19 after school, and also back to BF Day on Thursday evening after the showcase. If you are able to help, please sign up on the event’s sign up genius.

We are also looking for parent volunteers to support the event. If you are interested, please email Miss Bethany; bjgrant@seattleschools.org.
