Greetings band parents and students,
On this 75th anniversary of the date that will live in infamy, we remember and thank those who have fought for our country and those who protect and serve in our community. Here are the updates for the week of December 5th. Please read through every topic so nothing is overlooked. 1) Citrus Fruit Fundraiser (Completed) This fundraiser was completed Monday with delivery of all citrus orders. Please reply to this email or contact your student's director if you had any issues with your order. Thank you to those students and parents who helped with the distribution on Monday. Thanks to your support and understanding with the last minute substitution to some orders due to Hurricane Matthew. 2) Concert Wear Fittings (Completed) The concert wear fitting makeup night was the Monday after Thanksgiving. Please have your student talk to their director if your student was still not fitted. Thanks to Dawn Tsarpalas, Terry Moe (alterations), and all the parents who helped during the concert fitting nights. 3) Band Boosters Meeting - Tonight Date: Wednesday Dec 7 Times: 7 to 8:30 PM Location: WTHS Almond Band Room 4) Jazz Band Concert (Tomorrow - Dec 8) Date: Thursday Dec 8 Time: 7 PM Location: WTHS Almond Black Box Theatre HELP! - We need parent volunteers for this event!
