Solo and Ensemble is coming up fast on Saturday, February 6.! Please CLICK HERE to sign up on the sign-up genius and support our students. Having the “outside the room” monitor to help students know if the performance room is running ahead, behind or on-time and the “in-room assistant” to announce the student’s name and performance selection helps support our students and helps the judges give the students maximum attention. Please thoughtfully considering volunteering for a 2 hour time slot during Solo and Ensemble. We have over 800 events in 18 performance rooms to support! Service hours are available for students at the office on completion of their shift.
Like to make a difference? Upbeat Club nominations for next year’s officers will open at our March meeting! If you’re interested and would like to know more, contact one of the existing officers with any questions you have! Both our President and Treasurer will “senior out” at the end of this year.
Parkas, Parkas, Where Have You Gone? If you took marching band parkas home to wash, please double check that you’ve turned them back in. We are still missing 49 parkas that were sent home with volunteers to be washed. Bags of clean parkas can be dropped off in the uniform room.
Jazz N Cakes Pancake Breakfast coming up on March 19! This is our last big fundraiser of the year. Committees are starting work now. Please contact Jill Trygier at president@lakotawestbands.org if you’re interested in joining the committee for a very fun event.
Jazz ‘n Cakes Basket Raffles and Silent Auctions Donation requests are underway for Jazz ‘n Cakes basket raffles and silent auctions.
