RE: Hayfield High School Band Msg #55...Band Final Concert 7pm, Wed, June 6, 2012 & Still Opportunities to Volunteer

Band Booster Family,

 

Just a reminder for boutonnieres making tonight: Atsuko has volunteered to lead boutonnières making to honor senior band students (6-7:30 pm, Tues, Jun 5 @ our home: 6506 Langleigh Way, Alexandria, VA 22315).  It’s great that we already have some volunteers for the boutonnières, but we can always use more.  We ask volunteers to bring their own pair of scissors.  If you already know how to, that’s great.  However, if it’s your 1st time, then please watch the following YouTube link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HOAcOSwlKOc  The seniors will wear the boutonnieres for their final concert, Wed, Jun 6: )

 

PS: Since I’m away for the Department of Defense this week for business and can’t help Atsuko with this project, I’m trusting that you’ll find it in your heart to spare some time this evening to lend a helping hand for our senior band students who will be graduating soon.  Thank you in advance for your consideration and volunteer spirit;)

 

Humbly serving our kids,

Che

Band Booster Family,

 

NOTE: Band Final Concert, 7 pm, Wed, June 6th in the auditorium.

Prelude:  Please note the remaining volunteer opportunities to close out this band season:

Jun 6 Final Concert -- Atsuko has volunteered to lead boutonnières making to honor senior band students (6-7:30 pm, Tues, Jun 5 @ our home: 6506 Langleigh Way, Alexandria, VA 22315).  It’s great that we already have some volunteers for the boutonnières, but we can always use more.  We ask volunteers to bring their own pair of scissors.  If you already know how to, that’s great.  However, if it’s your 1st time, then please watch the following YouTube link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HOAcOSwlKOc  The seniors will wear the boutonnieres for their final concert, Wed, Jun 6: )

 

Jun 14 Graduation – We have some volunteers, but more are needed to serve lunch (Set up in Mr. K's room at 12 noon and serve lunch at 1:30 pm.  I'm guessing clean up between 2:30 and 3:00 pm.  If you can only stay for part of the time, that's fine, just come when you can.  We're serving pizza, cookies and/or brownies, and drinks to 225 music dept students.)

If you can help with either boutonnières Jun 6 or graduation lunch Jun 14, please send me an e-mail.  Thank you in advance;)
