  achieved a certain level of advanced performance, so that they
  can share their passion and achievement with the community.
  Students must propose their intention by the spring of their
  junior year and, upon recommendation from the Music
  Department and their private music instructors, may begin the
  planning process. During the fall semester of senior year senior
  musicians who qualify, will work with the Director of Music
  and their supporting music teachers to prepare a wellconstructed
  program, schedule a performance date, and create
  supporting concert materials, i.e. promotional posters, concert
  programs, and personal artist’s statement. In order to present
  an event,demonstrating their best work, deadlines for all
  planning stages must be met. This is a significant event in a
