I enjoy making the programs for each of my schools' concerts throughout the year. I get the program information from the band and choir teachers and then add the students' names and concert pieces to the program template. I like to change font combinations each year, keeping the program to two fonts--one for headings and one for everything else. Text boxes help me easily move groups of names around the page.
Students decorate concert flyers a few weeks before the concert and hang them around the school and community. If a student shows me their completed flyer, I'll scan a copy for myself so I can include some student artwork in the concert program too. I use Paint to select the portion of the artwork I want to use and then copy/paste it into the Word document. I've seen some really impressive student artwork. Using clip art is another possibility to add interest to all the text of a concert program, but I really like the personalized touch of using student artwork.
In addition to a place to list all the pieces on the concert by ensemble, the concert program template includes a place for student names for band, orchestra, and choir as well as a "special thanks" area. This template makes a program that's one piece of paper folded in half.
Feel free to use these as a starting point to create your own concert programs and flyers!
