GALA
The Gala will be held on
Thursday, May 28.
Deadline: We are creating
a keepsake program for the Gala on May 28th and you are invited to purchase
ad space to honor your daughter or son. Pictures are welcome, but please be
aware that all ads will be in black and white. There is a program ad
attachment on the band web site that gives details about ad sizes,
resolution and prices. Parents purchasing a half or full page honoring their
student will receive $10 off the price of their ad. All ads need to be
submitted to J.B. Hallan at
jbhallan@yahoo.com
by May 1.
Tickets:
Ticket order forms were distributed last week. We have a total of 800
tickets to sell, which averages out to 7 per student. Be thinking now about
who you can sell tickets to. We'd like the students to play to a sell-out
crowd. Prices will be $15 for adults, $10 for children, students, senior
adults (65+), and Jordan faculty and staff. Children under 5 will
be free. (You do not need to get a ticket for your band student.)
Planning:
The next meeting for the Gala Planning Committee will be Thursday, April
30th at 6 p.m. in the band room. Anyone interested in helping with the Gala
is welcome to join us.
Continue to:
-
Ask businesses and corporations
(where you work) if they would like to be a corporate sponsor for our
concert. If so, please let Virginia Taylor know and she will follow up.
-
Solicit ads
from businesses you patronize. This is easy and many businesses are
happy to do it because the price is right and the ad will reach over 800
people! You will need the Community Business Leader letter and the
Program Ad sheet from the website. Print them up and carry them with
you. We have already asked many businesses; that list will be posted to
the website.
-
Donate items for our
raffle and auction. In the past we have had a week at a beach house,
sports tickets, etc. All donations are tax-deductible. Please contact
Paige Cragg with any raffle/auction questions at
pccragg@aol.com.
-
Sign-up to volunteer
the night of the Gala. Volunteers will be needed to sell raffle tickets,
distribute programs and help with chaperoning. No one will miss their
child perform. Contact Debbie Alberti at
