Dear Music Parents,
It is that time of the school year again! This year’s Music Carnival will be held on Friday, March 5th at 6:30p.m. starting in the OLD gym. As a reminder, a Music Parent is any parent having a child in 5th-12th grade band or 6th-12th grade chorus.
The Music Carnival is the Music Parents Organization’s biggest fundraising project. All of the money we raise goes to the Walnut Music Department. Our big purchase this year has been show choir outfits. We also bought a new bass amplifier, cleaned the band uniforms and old show choir outfits, and took the music students to see “Jesus Christ Superstar” earlier this month.
The program portion of the evening begins at 6:30 when the High School Show Choir performs. The 2010 Royalty have been selected by the music students, and the king and queen will be crowned during the program. The Carnival portion of the evening will immediately follow in the NEW gym.
There are three shifts for the Carnival. The first two shifts will be working the game booths. The third shift will be the clean-up committee. However, for those of you listed to work the game booths second shift, please take a few minutes to tidy your area and take down the tables in order to make the packing up and putting away go more smoothly for the clean-up committee. The first shift will begin directly after the program and end at 8:15. The second shift will start at 8:15 and ends at 9:00p.m. The clean-up shift will begin directly at 9:00 when the Carnival is over.
Music students will be selling chances for two $50 gift certificates to the Mall of the Bluffs or Oakview Mall. Chances will be $1 and may be purchased from any music student or at the door on the night of the Carnival. Students selling the winning tickets will receive a $5 bonus. The drawing will be between 8:30 and 9:00 (you need not be present to win.) The top three ticket sellers will receive McDonald’s gift certificates.
Advance game ticket sales will be available Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday (March 2nd-5th) starting at 3:00p.m. outside the 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and 5th grade rooms. The price of advance tickets will be five for $1. Tickets purchased at the door will be four for $1.
Thursday evening at 6:00p.m. we will be setting up the games in the new gym. The more people that can come and help, the sooner we can get done – we would love to have your help!
Each family is asked to bring a cake, pie, or other baked goods for the Cakewalk. (We encourage you to bring more than one!) These baked goods should be taken to the band room. It is very important that each family contributes a cake, pie, or baked goods, because they are total profit for the music department.
IF YOU ARE UNABLE TO FULFILL YOUR DUTIES AS LISTED IN THIS LETTER, YOU MUST FIND YOUR OWN REPLACEMENTS. Please contact one of the following parents to let them know the name of your replacement. Thank you for your support, and we hope you enjoy the program and the Carnival!
