Jordan High Marching Band Reminders and Updates
Monday, May 4, 2009

booster meeting  7:00 p.m. Thursday, May 7 in the combo room. All Booster members are welcome to attend.

GALA corrections

  • The Gala will be held on Thursday, May 28 at 7:00 PM.  Please note the time. (It had been listed incorrectly as 7:30.)  Please make note of the correct time.

  • Previous notices stated that adults 65+ gained free admission.  The age has been lower to 60+

  • UPDATE (5/5/09): Please note that seniors 60+ do not get free admission. They get the
    special $10 ticket (rather than the $15 adult price). I apologize for
    any confusion..

BUY FAMILY TICKETS THIS WEEK

We are now selling tickets to the Band Gala Concert (Thursday, May 28 at the Carolina Theater) and we want to sell it out.  To be sure that everyone in your family has a ticket, please order your family tickets this week (you do not need to buy a ticket for your band student).  Your child should have brought home a ticket order form; if not, please e-mail Lori Schwarze at laschwarze@hotmail.com.  You will receive your tickets after you order and pay for them.  We also want to invite all Jordan faculty and staff to buy their tickets this week. Tickets cost $15 for adults and $10 for students (including college students), Jordan faculty/staff and adults 60 and over (lap children don't need a ticket). Help us meet our goal of selling over 250 tickets this week.

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.

  • 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 soccermom8491@hotmail.com for specifics.
