The 1-3rd Grade Spring Concert will be Thursday March 23, 2023 in the Performing Arts Center.
The 1-3rd Grade Spring Concert is quickly approaching and the students have been working very hard on all their songs for the musicals they will be performing for the Community of Gothenburg. The First Grade is performing the musical "Big Dreams" and should wear nice concert clothing for their concert. The Second Grade is performing the musical "Just Sing!" and should wear nice concert clothing for their concert. The Third Grade is performing "Razzamajazz" a Jazz musical and the girls should wear flapper dresses while the boys wear black pants, suspenders, white shirts, bow ties, and black shoes to bring the musical more to life.
Here are the times of when students need to arrive and when the students perform. If you have any questions or concerns, please email Mrs. Wieseler at erica.wieseler@goswedes.org
