IN CONCERT XI

Saturday, March 8, 2008
7:00PM

In Concert is the San Mateo Union High School District’s annual concert festival. It is comprised of the best players from our six comprehensive high schools: Aragon, Burlingame, Capuchino, Hillsdale, Mills, and San Mateo. We put four ensembles together: chorus, symphonic band, jazz band, and string orchestra. Each one has a different guest conductor from outside of the school district.

This event is co-sponsored by the Foundation for the Fine and Performing Arts, a non-profit organization that directly supports events in our school district. All logistical and financial support is coordinated through this group.

The guest conductors for In Concert X will be:

Jazz Band
Dee Spencer

Chorus
Vance George

Orchestra
Mark Morash

Symphonic Band
Mike Boitz
