Week of May 13th Updates

Our last sprint to the finish line begins this week!  There are many things we have left to do this week before we kick back and start to enjoy the carefree days of summer...

Monday May 13th Dress Rehearsal: there will be no rehearsal after school for any ensemble. Students should have instruments at home this weekend making that final push to the finish line!

Tuesday May 14th - Spring Concert (required event for all personnel)

Concert: 7:00 pm
Call Time:  6:00 pm
Dress:  Concert uniforms (senior girls ONLY may wear formal dresses; senior boys ONLY may wear orchestra tuxedo or suit and a white or colored shirt and colored tie).

Uniform Collection:
-ALL tuxedos must be turned in the night of the concert immediately following the performance (boys need to bring clothes to change into and turn in the complete uniform before leaving the building - completing this process is part of the concert grade.
-All SENIOR girls should bring their uniform dress (already laundered) to school on a hanger and turn in on Monday May 13th - completing this process is part of the concert grade.
-Any girl not signed up for orchestra next year must turn in their dress before leaving the building that night (bring clothes to change into) - completing this process is part of the concert grade
-All other girls who are signed up for orchestra next year should KEEP their dress, as it has been hemmed specifically for you.  You will be asked in the fall to try it back on and make sure it still fits.  If it does, you won't have to hem another one!

Concert Videographer
-We are in need of someone to push the play button on the school ipad to record our concert.  Please email Mrs. Siebenthal as soon as possible if you would be available to help us out with this.

Cookie Donations
-We are still in need of some more refreshment donations for our post concert celebration honoring our seniors.  You can click here for the Sign Up Genius link. 

Nelson's Dinner Volunteers
-We are also in need of student/parent volunteers to assist us with the Nelson's dinner fundraiser on Wed. May 15th.  Volunteers are needed from 4-6 pm to simply help collect tickets in the drive through and run meals out to the vehicles.  We really need to get this list filled in a hurry and would greatly appreciate your donation of a couple of hours of help! Click here to volunteer for a great cause.  Don't forget that if you ordered meals through the fundraiser that they can be picked up that day from 4-6 pm.
