Wear the Colors
Let's have some fun with the themes for this season's programs. Audience
members are encouraged to wear the color of the concert theme
of each performance. Wear a scarf, a necktie, or any
other article of clothing in the featured color — we will
all add to the atmosphere of the occasion!

held at the Butler Area Intermediate
