HSS Band 2010-11.28 Fruit Truck Wed Dec 8; Concert Dec 9

Happy December, Band Boosters!

Oranges are Coming! Oranges are Coming!
(and grapefruit too!)
Our fruit order is expected to be delivered on Wednesday, December 8 at approximately 2pm. We will need volunteers (students and parents) to help unload the truck. If you can be there, please email Linda Lichtman to let her know; please also provide your cell-phone number so that she can notify you of any last-minute changes (last year, the truck arrived a few hours ahead of schedule; some years the truck has arrived late .... give Linda your cell # if you'd like her to contact you to let you know of any changes). Many hands truly make light labor in this case; so if you can help out it is GREATLY appreciated. Meet by the loading dock on the side of the school facing 7-11 and the bank.

HOW TO PICK UP YOUR FRUIT ORDER:
Wednesday: You'll be able to pick up your fruit soon after the truck is unloaded. Linda has offered to stay for a little while for anyone who wants to come by Wed afternoon to get their order (send her an email if you'd like to connect with her ahead of time).

Thursday: Come before or after the concert ... the concert starts at 7pm; students report at 6pm ... fruit pickup will be from 6pm - 6:45 and then after the concert. IF YOU CAN HELP LINDA WITH FRUIT DISTRIBUTION, please send her an email at

We did order a few extra boxes of fruit, so if you're interested in some last-minute sales, talk to Linda.

DRUMLINE PARENTS MEETING: Dec 7 at 6:30pm
On Tuesday, December 7, at 6:30pm there will be an information meeting for parents of "high school drum line" members (including the few middle-school aged students). The meeting will be a brief information sharing and parent organization session, preparing for the drum line competitive season.

TINY TOTS CONCERT: Friday, December 9 (9:30am)
