March/April Joe Corbi Fundraiser


We will be hosting a second Joe Corbi's fundraiser in March for both the Instrumental Programs and the two Honors Choral groups.  Brochures will be available the week of March 1.  If you wish to participate in this fundraiser, please ask your musician if they picked up a brochure.  

Orders are due Friday, March 18.  Because of the timing with spring break, we will not be able to accept late orders this time.  Merchandise will be available for pick up on Monday, April 11, which coincides with the mandatory spring trip meeting where we will have all papers notarized.  

As with the last time, if together we can sell over 100 items, each student will receive $5.00 per item sold in credit toward the spring trip.  If we can surpass 200 items, as we did last time, each student will receive $5.50 per item credit!  Any funds that are raised by individual sellers over and above the cost of the trip will go toward the general account which pays for new sheet music, instrument repair, extra percussion instruction, extra string instruction, and extra supplies just to name a few things!  Anyone who is not going on the trip and would like to fundraise toward the general account is more than welcome to take a brochure

Spaghetti Dinner Date Change


Due to a scheduling conflict, the date of our annual spaghetti dinner has changed.  Spaghetti dinner will now be Tuesday, March 15, from 5:00-7:30 PM.  

Reservation forms will go home this week.  As soon as we receive the reservation forms and payment, we will send tickets home.  Please be sure you receive your tickets so that you know we received your reservation forms.  

This is a fun evening to gather and enjoy good music, food, and company.  Proceeds from the evening benefit both individual trip accounts and the general fund.  

We hope to see everyone there on March 15!
