There is no limit to the number of family members that may come to celebrate with us!
An invitation with pertinent details for the event was sent via mail. Please be on the lookout for this! You can RSVP in one of two ways:
- Send your RSVP by mail including payment for family members or guests (use the form that is included with the invitation - the address is on the form)

All students need to RSVP in one of these two ways whether or not they are attending.
Jim and Kate Mattison, the banquet coordinators, are looking for some help organizing the banquet. They are looking for people who have an interest in decorating the ballroom and helping with table seating. Please email them at eahsmusicbanquet@gmail.com if you are interested!
We look forward to seeing you there!

General Info
Mrs. Palmer - Retirement
If you have not heard, Mrs. Palmer is retiring at the end of this school year after 32 years of service in Easton. She expressed to me that she didn't want anything special, but she has meant so much to so many people that we need to make her last concert one to remember. Mrs. Nancy Ebert, a former band mom, came up with the idea of "filling the auditorium". I think that is a perfect idea. It would be awesome to fill all 1750 seats! I know she has been sharing the word as well. Please share this information with your child, have them share with their friends, spread the word. It would be awesome if we could have students from her early days as well. However all are invited including parents.
I would like to create a memory book/video for her as well. I am attaching a google form that has some questions and has the ability for you to upload any photos or videos that you may have of Mrs. Palmer or the band. Pass the link along to anyone you know had her, the more the merrier!
https://forms.gle/eE4563W8ur7TieWJ7
If you have any questions or suggestions, please feel free to email me. Let's make her last concert her most memorable--and lets keep it a secret. I would love to see her face when she sees a full house.
