“The concert will be at Gibbs because the Lakewood auditorium is still under construction,” music teacher Jacob Merrett said. The construction is nearly finished, but they are not there yet, and Gibbs was the only location with any availability, he explained.

“It’s not great that it’s on a Friday since we’ll have to clear everything out of Gibbs that night, but better somewhere than nowhere,” he said.

The concert is a great opportunity for students to show what they have learned this far in the year. The program will include performances from the concert band, guitar soloists, the jazz ensemble, a thespian soloist, the orchestra and chorus.

“It’s the only concert where the whole department is together at one time,” Merrett said.

He said his favorite part of the concert is the sing-along.

“It gets the audience involved a little bit more and gives them a chance to stand up and stretch and participate with their children/friends,” he said.
