Jazz ‘N Cakes – Thanks to all our parent and student volunteers for making this a great event! The food, market street, and music were fabulous. If you won a basket you would have been contacted by the Hertz’s this weekend. We are still totaling up the results. If you have not yet turned in your unused tickets or money please do so this week. Please put the money and any unused tickets in a marked envelope and turn in to Mr. Chumley. Checks can be made out to the Lakota West Upbeat Club.

April Taste of Music (Uno’s 4/18) – Uno’s does not allow electronic flyers for their events so paper flyers will be available for pick up in the band rooms and at the 4/16 Upbeat meeting. Uno’s gives the band 20% of the check (including alcohol, excluding tax & tip) for take out and dine in. Flyers can not be distributed in the restaurant or the parking lot so be sure to take one with you at one of these events if you did not receive one at Jazz ‘N Cakes.
