Board discusses concert visibility, seating and stage options for elementary performances
Summary
Board members praised a successful winter concert but reiterated long-standing problems with sightlines, seating and acoustics in the grade school gym; staff said they would explore risers or a forward stage for spring performances.
Board members commended the winter concert and praised the music teacher (referred to as Mr. Pine) for classroom engagement with students, particularly high-needs learners. "The concert was great," one member said, noting positive outcomes for student interest.
Several members raised long-standing concerns about sightlines and seating in the grade school gym, saying parents cannot see the students unless seated directly in front. Suggestions included risers, moving the stage forward, or restructuring the space to meet requirements for programs such as Missoula Children's Theatre. Staff said they would work on alternate setups by spring and try to keep elementary concerts at the elementary site if possible.
