Announcements 12/6/15

1)  Breakfast with Santa is this Saturday from 8:30 to 10:30.  Tickets are available in the Band Room if you know of someone who wants to buy some.  If you are working, please be there at 7 am to start cooking Pancakes and Sausages, and to finish setting up.  We currently need about 3 or 4 more griddles to help with the cooking. I will not need all students working at this.  In fact, I will only be asking for 15 volunteers on a sign up sheet this week.  

2)  For those students not working at Breakfast with Santa, we are asking for the following donations to help our profits on this event:  Guard - candy canes, full size, it doesn't matter about color or flavor.  Percussion - Orange Juice, quart size.  Brass - 2% white milk, quart size.  Woodwinds - Chocolate milk, quart size.  Bring those any time this week and we will store the drinks in the cafeteria refrigerator. 

3) We will have afterschool rehearsal this Thursday from 3:30 to 5 pm for the concert.

4)  After the rehearsal, if you have signed up to perform at the District dinner, we will be performing right after rehearsal and will be done by 6 pm.  Wear all black for the performance.  

5)  We will be responsible for concessions at the Monday, December 21 Basketball game.  I need two more parent volunteers and two more student volunteers.
