Swing Dance – Snack assignments (all bands)

EVERY BAND STUDENT is asked to contribute a snack for this event to make it a success.  This list also includes some items needed for solo & ensemble this year.  In order to get a variety we assign requested snacks by band.  (Students in concert AND Jazz should bring items.)  Baked/sweet goods should not include any kind of nuts due to allergies.
