<DIV><FONT face=Arial><STRONG>The holiday season is here along
with the <U>Winter Band Concert on Tuesday December 18th at 7:30 p.m.
in the High School auditorium</U>. Following the concert
there will be some light refreshments in the cafeteria, with time to
socialize and congratulate the bands on what is always an
enjoyable performance. </STRONG></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial><STRONG></STRONG></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial><STRONG>We are hoping many of you will
<U>volunteer to bring a plate of finger desserts (cookies, brownies,
fruit, etc.) or drinks</U> (small bottles of water or a gallon of
cider or juice). Coffee and will be provided. The food should be on
disposable plates if possible and can be dropped off in the High School
Cafeteria when students arrive at 6:30 p.m. We have many middle
school musicians, and they are always hungry after the concert - so please
volunteer to help feed them and their guests!! </STRONG></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial><STRONG></STRONG></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial><STRONG><U>Volunteers are also needed for the following
tasks beginning at 6:30 p.m. on Dec. 18:</U></STRONG></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial><STRONG>2 ticket sellers</STRONG></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial><STRONG>3 ushers/"door guards"</STRONG></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><STRONG>6 chaperones to assist Ms. Toland</STRONG></DIV>
<DIV><STRONG>1 refreshment set-up person in the cafeteria</STRONG></DIV>
<DIV><STRONG></STRONG> </DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><U>Volunteers needed in the middle of the
concert:</U></STRONG></DIV>
<DIV><STRONG>Stage crew to help with one set change between the Jazz
Band performance and the big bands (to move chairs, stands, etc.)
</STRONG><STRONG>This is a great job for high school siblings attending the
concert who wish to get community service credit, but willing parents
are probably also needed.</STRONG></DIV>
<DIV><STRONG></STRONG> </DIV>
<DIV>**Also, this year the Middle School Bands and Orchestras are joining the
Kevin Youkilis Foundation to collect toys for children in surrounding areas who
are in need of a little extra joy in their lives this season. There will
be a collection box in the band room Monday and Tuesday, December 17th and
18th. There will also be a collection box at the MS Band Concert.
Gifts can be wrapped or unwrapped. If wrapped, a tag should identify the age
range of the child and whether it is appropriate for a girl or a boy. Thank you
for your support of this cause!</DIV>
<DIV><STRONG></STRONG> </DIV>
<DIV><STRONG></STRONG> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial><STRONG>Please respond ASAP to this e-mail to
volunteer or to let me know if your family is bringing food or
drink. Your help is much appreciated by all
involved!</STRONG></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial><STRONG>Thank you.</STRONG></FONT></DIV>
