HSS Band 2010-11.40 Concert, Thursday, June 2

hi Band Boosters,

Congratulations to the Middle School band for First Place at Hershey Park on Friday!!!

Our End-of-year Concert is Thursday, June 2 at 7pm (students report earlier in tuxes and dresses - see band website for details).

Many thanks to Atsuko Russell who has offered to organize making boutonnieres for the seniors once again (and, it's a big job this year - there are 33 seniors!).

If you can help out with this, please come to the band room Wednesday from 4:30pm - 6:00pm (we'll work until we're done, so please feel free to come by.)

We also will need a few parents to help pin the boutonnieres on before the concert; if you're able to come early on Thursday, please let me know (bandlsm@gmail.com).


We're still looking for more volunteers to help with lunch on graduation day -- we're coordinating with orchestra and chorus boosters to serve lunch to 200 band, orchestra & chorus students ... please let me know if you're able to help with preparations and/or on that day, Thursday, June 16 any time from noon - 4pm.

Have a great week!

Lorraine
