A light green and white promotional graphic advertises a school music performance. Across the top of the image is a flowing musical staff with dark blue music notes and symbols curving from left to right. In the upper right corner, dark blue text reads “RMS & CHS.” Centered in very large dark blue serif lettering are the words “SPRING BAND CONCERT.” Beneath the title is a small illustration of a blue bird singing with black musical notes floating above it. Thin green horizontal and vertical divider lines frame the event details below the bird. On the left side, dark blue text reads “May 12, 2026” above “Crestwood High School Auditorium.” On the right side, large bold dark blue text reads “6:00 PM.” At the bottom of the graphic, a paragraph in dark blue text states: “Admission is free for all, so bring the whole family! Let’s fill the auditorium with applause and show our students how proud we are of their achievements.” The background features a soft blurred bokeh effect in pale green and white tones, creating a calm spring-themed appearance.
