Fall Concert  - Parents we need your help!

Our Fall Choir Concert is Tuesday, October 9, 2012 at 7pm in the Performing Arts Center. 

We need parents to volunteer in the following areas, please email me if you can help. I need to know prior to Tuesday evening how many volunteers I have to depend on, I look forward to hearing from you if you can help that evening.

• 5 parents to sit with the students as they wait in the audience for their performance. Reminding them to stay quiet, applaud at the appropriate times and be on their best performance behavior.

• 3 to 4 parents to assist with handing out the Fall Fundraiser information at the end of the performance in PAC lobby.

• 4 to 6 parents to help pass out Butterbraid samples to everyone in attendance. (Please plan to arrive no later 6:15 pm.)

We want to remind all parents interested in chaperoning the Spring Trip that one of the requirements to be considered for this trip is to volunteer in at least 2 choir events. This is a great way to knock out one of those right away and still enjoy your son and/or daughter's performance. 

Please email Jennifer Hollingshead at jholli@gmail.com.
