Free Concert
for Irving ISD Students, Staff and Community

Music Matters!
by the Metropolitan Winds

November 1, 2007
7:30 p.m.

MacArthur High School Auditorium

The Metropolitan Winds is hosting a Free Concert for Irving ISD students, staff, and community on Thursday, November 1, 2007 at MacArthur High School Auditorium. The concert starts at 7:30 p.m.   The music will be quite varied and will keep the interest of the young and the "not-so-young" alike. This will not be a formal concert - no tuxedos on the stage; it will be a family event. Come as you are and enjoy the music!
The Metropolitan Winds is a non-profit, all volunteer wind band that typically performs at the Meyerson Symphony Center in Dallas. Music Matters is a community outreach project of the group to bring concert experiences to families and to encourage music programs (band, choral, orchestra) as electives for students regardless of previous exposure. Music is a life-long elective -- not just one through High School.

We look forward to playing for Irving ISD since Irving ISD has hosted our rehearsal space for several years. Rehearsing at MacArthur has even allowed a few exceptional Irving ISD high school band students (from all 3 high schools over the years) to play with us -- usually for the Summer Concert since they are so active during the school year.

Please join us if you can.
