Music In Our Schools Month

Music In Our Schools

March 2026 GOOGLE FORM IS NOW OPEN!

Dear Music Educator,

Here we are, ready to schedule our yearly performances at the Oakdale Mall in March 2026. I am so excited that we get to continue to bring music into the community!

Please use the google form (found below) to choose your date(s) and time(s). I am asking for 3 choices to accommodate everyone. It will be done on a first come, first served basis. The form will close at the end of the day, December 19, no exceptions. Remember that you will need to provide proof of insurance in order to perform. That will be due Feb 1, 2026, once the schedule is made and sent out. I will contact you with your date and a reminder about the insurance.

Remember:

● Performance is in front of JC Penney’s

● Chairs and music stands are provided - You might want to bring some of your own. The mall could not give me a number of music stands available.

● A piano will be provided

● Please visually identify your group

● There are no risers provided for singing groups

● Play only in your allotted time.

● YOUR GROUP is responsible for setting up AND taking down all performance chairs and music stands used. You will be notified if you do not need to break down your set up, once the schedule has been finalized.

● You do NOT need to set up or break down the audience seats. They will remain in place for the two week series.

● Keep the fire exits clear

● We can no longer enter from the alley between JC Penney and Dick’s. You must enter via the main entrance on the west side of the building (near Five Guys).

● All students must be supervised by adults while in the mall. Please be aware that we are not only representing BCMEA but your home districts. Please do not allow your students to run around the mall.

If you have any questions at all, please do not hesitate to reach out.

Please use the Google Form provided to choose your dates. You will need to select an answer for each date - there is a “none” option if you are not interested in that date. Remember that you have until 3:00pm on December 19 to have the form completed! The schedule will be completed on or about Jan 10.

Thank you so much!
