while i have your attention……

Volunteer Spot will have slots open for the Orchestra Festival concession table happening Friday, February 7^th and Saturday, February 8^th.

I need 2 people for the following slots:

Friday, Feb 7th

First shift 2:45 pm – 5:30

Second shift  6:30-8:15 pm (one slot already taken, thanks Patti!)

Saturday, Feb 8^th:

First shift 8:45-11:30 am

Second shift  12:30-2:15 pm

We will sell candy, soda, and water.  Nothing fancy, because Mr. Burn isn't allowing much time for groups to eat junk food.

We are shutting down concessions so everyone can attend the performance of Simply Three.

We need 1 or 2 volunteers to help set up dinner for the judges on Friday night at 5 pm.  We are ordering Chinese food, so it's basically setting up the delivered food.  Volunteers will be done by 5:30 pm, when the judges arrive.

We also need 1 or 2 volunteers to help set up for the judges’ lunch Saturday at 11, sandwich fixings.   They'll be eating around 11:30.    Volunteers would be done at 11:30 when the judges arrive.

Please follow this link to Volunteer Spot:

Please contact Vicki Feltman at Vicki.feltman@gmail.com if you can help or need more information.

NOTE – you don’t have to be an orchestra parent to volunteer for concessions at an orchestra event.  All monies go to music boosters to support all students participating in the Homestead music program.
