Its going to be Spooktacular!
Saturday October 31st is our First Annual 6th Grade “Spooktacular”! This clinic is hosted by the Lassiter Orchestra and is designed to help our beginning 6th graders with their new instruments. Look for an opportunity to sign up and help our new orchestra members at this event. We will have face-painting stations, a costume contest, games, and other opportunities for you to help out!
These 6th graders look-up to all of you as the musicians they want to become – show them what its like to be a member of a high school orchestra – they will be in your sections next year, so here’s a chance to get them ready and have fun in the process. There will also be food, games, fun, and much more. See Mr. Mori and Ms. Doemel for details. Parent Volunteers Needed to bake 2 – 4 dozen non-iced cupcakes each (goal is 16 dozen cupcakes) for a cupcake decorating activity.
