Moving Day

Sat. Feb. 6th starting at 9 AM

 

We need to move things from the storage room to the band room.  We need lots of help and large, sturdy dollies.  The more help we get, the quicker this will go.

 

There are also several other projects that need to be completed to make the new facility fit our needs and show our pride.

 

Please send an email to Karen if you are able to help with either of these efforts.

Albuquerque Jazz Festival

Friday Feb. 19th and Saturday the 20th at EHS

 

This excellent event is sponsored by EHS Bands and provides a valuable experience for the kids as well as being a great fundraiser for the band

 

  We need volunteers for apparel and volunteers for concession sales.  We’re asking for people to cover at least a two hour block.

We also need stagehand help.

 

Please let Sara Frederick know as soon as possible what times you are available to help out and if you have a preference between concession or apparel sales.

 

We will be asking for donations for the concession stand, so be looking for that email soon.  Food donations will be collected in Mr. Sanks’ office

 

This event has been organized by Tom Schripsema for several years. Unfortunately, this will be Tom's last year organizing the festival and we need someone (or a few someones) to take over. Tom would like to train whoever is interested in taking over so please consider being the organizer for this event. If you're interested, contact Tom at amespirhcs@msn.com

 

And if anyone knows of a business that would like to advertise in the Jazz Festival program, please let Tom Schripsema know at the email address above.
