<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>This Thursday,<STRONG> MAY 1st, at 7:30 is
the</STRONG> <FONT size=3><STRONG>Middle School Band and Orchestra Spring
Concert at the High School Auditorium</STRONG></FONT>--sadly the last
concert of the year. Following the performances, there will be a
reception in the HS cafeteria with cookies and good things to nibble, and a
chance to congratulate all the performers on a great year of music!</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>We are, once again, <STRONG><FONT size=4>looking
for <EM><U>ALL</U></EM> parents to volunteer to provide a plate of finger
goodies</FONT></STRONG><FONT size=3> </FONT>(cookies, brownies, etc)<FONT
size=3> </FONT><FONT size=4><STRONG>or a case of bottles of water</STRONG>
</FONT>(8 or 16 oz.). The band and orchestra students and teachers have
spent hours and hours preparing a great evening of music for us all to enjoy,
and we would like to treat them to some great goodies afterwards. We are
expecting several HUNDRED guests to be hungry and thirsty post-concert, so we
really need <U><STRONG>everyone </STRONG></U>to pitch in and help out!!
</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Please let me know via email if you are going to
bring cookies (store bought is fine) or other treats, or water, so that we can
be sure to have enough available for the large crowd. All goodies should
be dropped off at 6:30 in the HS cafeteria, when you drop off your child for the
concert.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial><STRONG>Also needed for this concert, in the way of parent
helpers, the night of the concert are as follows:</STRONG></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial><STRONG></STRONG></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>3 chaperones for the tuning rooms/ rehearsal
help (great if you can tune, ok if you can't)</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>1 helper to set up refreshments in cafeteria
</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>3 "stage crew" to help with a big set change after
warm ups are done at 7:10, and after the jazz ensemble performance. (This
is a good job for a HS student sibling to get community service credit, but
parents get brownie points, too!)</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Lastly, as this is the last concert of the year, if
you have an <U>8th grader</U> without a musician younger sibling, please
consider donating his/her bowtie and cummerbund or maroon sash to the
Weston Friends of Music fall concert clothing sale so it can be reused next
year by another student. There will be a drop box in the
cafeteria after the concert for any such donations. (the High School has a
different concert dress requirement).</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><FONT size=4>PLEASE </FONT><U><FONT size=3>respond
ASAP to let me know </FONT><FONT size=4>if you will be bringing food
or water for this concert.</FONT></U> We really appreciate
<STRONG>EVERYONE'S HELP</STRONG> to make this a great end-of-a
great-year concert and reception!!</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Thanks for helping!</FONT></DIV>
