Happy Spring!
Happy Spring! It is wonderful to now see the sun again and also have more mild weather. It's hard to believe that the year is nearly over. Teachers will say that years with hard working, fun, kind students go by fast. This year has flown by! Thanks again for all you do to support your child's musical experiences. There are several events coming up on the horizon. This newsletter will give you info on all of them.
Sincerely
Rob Buckley
50th All-City
PM Music Center Step-up Night
The event is at PM Music Center Thursday, April 13 from 6:00pm-8:30pm. I have attached the flyer for it HERE
ROTOLOPALOOZA ALMOST HERE!
Tickets will be going on sale on April 18. Tickets are $15 and cover admission to the Glow Dance Party, Inflateables, and all of the other fun (including dodgeball, waterball flipping contest and live band). We'll also have plenty of concessions that can be purchased.
We will need a lot of help for this event. If you would like to donate an hour, we would be very appreciative (it's fun just to help out!). We also are in need of Gatorade and water. If you can donate a package of water or Gatorade that would be awesome--you can drop them off at RMS. I have included the link again here to sign up for helping: http://www.signupgenius.com/go/10c0f44a5ae28abf94-
If you have questions about helping out, you can contact Christine Breiten (event chair) at cbreiten@sbcglobal.net.
