Taste for Music – Chipotle: The next Taste for Music will be held at the Chipotle on Union Centre this Friday, May 30th from 2:00pm until 6:00pm. The timing should be good for students getting out of school around 2:00pm, rookie marchers  and leadership team who finish at 5:00pm, as well as, families for dinner before 6:00pm. The Upbeat Club will receive 50% of proceeds from this fundraiser, so please drop by Chipotle on Union Centre between 2:00pm and 6:00pm and present the fundraising flyer to support the Lakota West marching band, concert band, jazz band, color guard and winter guard programs.
