We are looking forward to seeing you all at ESPRESSIVO: SUMMER CELEBRATION on Wednesday, June 3rd at DW Poppy! We’re hoping for good weather and expect to be outside with over 300 musicians from all 6 of our schools in the DW Poppy West Parking Lot (but will be in the large gym if the weather is uncooperative). Feel free to bring your lawn chairs if you’d like, and remember that it still gets cooler by the end of the evening. Musicians should be in dress blacks with red accents as usual, and sunglasses are OK when the sun is coming down.
Tickets: Tickets are $5 per person (performers are free!) and are available at https://sd35.schoolcashonline.com/Fee/Details/87781/111/False/True and will be on sale until 11:00pm Tuesday, June 2nd. We may have limited tickets available (cash only) at the door.
Dinner: We will be joined by Reel Mac n’ Cheese, Big Red’s Poutine, West Coast Rolled Cinamon Buns and Truckin’BBQ for the evening. You can purchase dinner from the food trucks starting at 5:00pm, before the Elementary set, and well into the Secondary set. It is usually around 7:30/8:00 before they leave.
Schedule for the night:
- 5:00pm Elementary Musicians Call Time (to the band/choir rooms)
- 5:00pm Doors Open (the North-West parking lot gate on the west lot)
- 5:30pm Elementary Performances Begin
- 6:00pm Secondary Musicians Call (Star Wars should be at about 6:15)
- 6:15pm(ish) All 325+ Elementary and DW Poppy Musicians’ “Massive Band” for Star Wars

We’re excited to see everyone here again on Wednesday, June 3rd for this wonderful annual event, and thank you all for supporting your kids’ love of music!
