2. Priority Request from the Bands Club Board:
We have a priority need for a photographer and videographer for the concert/intermediate bands. The main job would be to record/photograph the concerts. The winter concerts are fast approaching with intermediate/concert band/ jazz band winter concerts on December 15th and symphonic winter concert on December 16th. If someone has a way to record or photograph the concert on equipment other than a cell phone, please reach out to Allison Bullard (abullard2@wcpss.net) or Ms. Colburn (acolburn@wcpss.net). Without a videographer, we will need to pay someone to record the concerts.
3. Fruit and Flower Fundraiser Delivery Update:
Fruit & Flowers is still looking for a few more parent volunteers during our fruit and flower delivery days. https://m.signupgenius.com/#!/showSignUp/5080A4EA5AD2A1-fruit1
A past band parent donated over a 100 fruit bags for anyone to use if they wish. If you purchased fruit and planned to give it away as gifts these are great bags. They hold up to 8lbs of fruit. They will be available on Fruit pick up day. Bags will be available on a first come first serve basis unless you email Kelly Monce prior requesting some. See attached pictures
