ATTENTION PARENTS - CHAPERONES AND BAKERS NEEDED FOR BIG BAND DANCE
Sat, Dec 12, 7-10 pm
 

Chaperones are needed for the following time slots:  6:45-8pm; 8-9pm; 9-10pm.
The remainder of the dance is free for chaperones! 
To volunteer, contact Mary Lee Snorteland:  snortesky@yahoo.com or 206-364-3290.
Note that Jazz Ensemble will be playing during the last hour+ of the dance, Stage Band will be playing first (7:30-8:15ish) - this may figure into your sign-up preferences if you want to see your student play.
 
We need some bakers to provide refreshments (2 dozen items per baker).
Ideally, items would be individually wrapped so we don't have to worry about hands touching them when we transfer the items to plates, etc.
They don't all have to be sweets - savory and healthy items are okay, too.
Suggested donation per portion will probably be around $1.
If you can help, please contact Nancy Graves: nancyngraves@hotmail.com

Jazz Band Trip proiposals:

Fullerton Jazz Festival   PROBABLE! Travel bid to be received end of November. Set those date aside!
March 25-28, 2010

Reno International Jazz Festival  
April 23-25, 2010

Same weekend as State Solo Contest. This may make the Fullerton trip the best option.
We will decide upon one of these festivals at the end of November. Bids for travel will be received by then and we will look at cost and school related conflicts.

Competition means 1 on a part. Reauditions will occur following the Oct. 29th concert in the saxes and trumpets. Doubling will occur only if partw needed or for lead trumpet endurance. Piano players wil get rated and pieces will be allocated on ability and improvisation skills.
Forms will be distributed late November for the trip to those who are selected.
