The fourth annual Fine Arts Fest will be Friday, May 16th at 7:30 pm at the high school in McGoff auditorium. This event features performances by the WHS band, combined jazz band, choir, and theater production students. Tickets are $5.00 per person.
The schedule for the day is as follows: 6:00 pm: Concert Band and Jazz Band members report to the high school for combined rehearsal (students should plan to eat dinner before they arrive) 7:30 pm: Show begins The "uniform" for the evening is jeans, plain black shirt, and tennis shoes. Please let me know if you have questions. Thanks. Lynn Kelsey For those parents who don't know it yet, next Friday night, March 28, is our Evening of Jazz event. All are invited to come and hear some great jazz music. This event will be held at Williamston elementary school.
The Williamston school jazz bands will perform from 6:30 to 8:30, and the Walter White Jazz Quartet will perform from 8:30 to 10:00 pm. The Silent Auction will be held from 6:30 to 9:00 pm. A Flyer is available, and tickets can be purchased online at http://williamstonbands.weebly.com/jazz-band.html Hope to see you there! We are in need of white Christmas lights--both icicle type and strands of white lights--to decorate the gym for the Evening of Jazz. Please make sure to label them with your name so we can return them to you after the event is over. Please plan to drop off these lights by Wednesday, March 26th, at the high school or middle school band room.
If you have questions please contact Nancy Deal at [email protected] Thanks! Our Evening of Jazz is fast approaching and we need some help. We have an amazing line-up of professional jazz performers coming to perform for the evening. The MS and HS Jazz bands will also be performing.
Outside of great music we have a silent auction at the event. What we are looking for are items that can be put in the silent auction. Who do you know who could donate a service or item to the auction? Do you have a vacation home, timeshare or service that you would be willing to donate for the auction? Things to think of:
If you have an item or service to donate, contact Nancy Deal at 517-281-0562. She is the team leader on this event and needs our support. You can also email Vicki Schneider at [email protected] and I will make sure she gets the information. How else can you help?
