Hi friends -
If
you no longer have a student in the THS Band and Orchestra program,
feel free to delete this message (but also feel free to stick around and
read it). And if you DO have a current student in our program, please take a moment and see if you can help us out.
As
we continue to rebuild the band and orchestra programs, one of the most
difficult things has been restoring our volunteer base. Instrumental
music programs rely on the involvement of parents and other interested
adults - there are so many things that we do and we need many more
adults than we have on staff. And this week we are up against a very
difficult challenge.
We have been a part of the Tigard Festival of Balloons for
19 years, by providing volunteers to help with directing people at
critical locations throughout the Festival grounds. Most of the work is
done by students, but we absolutely MUST have a few adults
on every shift to help out. And while our students have done a good job
signing up, we are missing adult volunteers on several crucial
shifts, and missing a few students as well.
For
this volunteering, we are paid a stipend, which is credited to the band
and orchestra accounts of the students (and their adults) who
are volunteering. That student account can be used for any band or
orchestra-related expense including music lessons, trip expenses
(Disney!), a new case, valve oil - you get the idea.
Here is the coverage that is missing. Can YOU sign up??
