In June, we asked for parent interest in chaperoning. This month, after understanding roles, responsibilities, and requirements, we ask for your commitment. Fundraising
We are joining with the Band Boosters to raise the necessary funds not covered by our contract with Artist Travel Consultants. (See original information flyer sent home in June.) The biggest expense is related to the rental and transportation of the necessary instruments. We are still in the process of identifying the best possible configuration that gives our young musicians the best opportunity at creating the desired sound quality. Questions?
