Frozen Food Fundraiser:

Equipment Crew
The time has come to put together a crew for the upcoming band season. We will need a lot of help this year since the pit (front ensemble) is larger than in years past and we have a huge prop to deal with. We have room for all, and it's a great way to be involved and get to know the kids and staff.
If you would like to part of the team contact me and let me know. The season is approaching and there is much to do.
Thanks,
Dave Wood
