Solo & Ensemble Contest is on Saturday 2/1 7am-5:30pm. CLICK HERE for more information and to sign up for one or more of the roles and/or slots to volunteer. This event is hosted by the Lakota West Bands and will require the help of many parents AND students to make it a success for the participants. More than 200 shifts of 2.5 hours need to be covered. It is also one of our budgeted fundraisers for the year. Students can receive service hours for working at this event. Parents that sign up for a shift while their student is scheduled to play will be able to go listen to their student.

Jazz ‘N Cakes Donation Request – We are underway with planning another exciting Market Street at our annual Jazz ‘n Cakes fundraiser on Saturday, March 22, 2014. Please keep us in mind if you received a Holiday gift that maybe wasn’t quite what you had wanted or needed. We are in need of new items to fill our variety of baskets for our raffles and silent auctions. Maybe your child got a duplicate book or toy, or you already have that household appliance; whatever the case may be, please consider donating any new items to Jazz ‘n Cakes. If you own a business, please consider making a basket raffle donation and have your company name included in our programs. If you are able to make a donation or have questions about how to make a large item donation (vacation rental, sporting event tickets, etc.), please contact Bill Hertz at market@lakotawestbands.org to arrange pick-up of your item(s). Thank you for your help in making Jazz ‘n Cakes a success! We hope to see you March 22nd!
