We have planned a pre-concert rehearsal and dinner for the musicians from both schools. Students will need to arrive at Saratoga High School at 4:30 pm. We are using carpools to get the kids to and from Saratoga for the performance. The planning for that needs to begin now so all 65 students have rides

Volunteers are still needed for:
Workshop and Clinic Monitors: Simply be the responsible adult in a room, keeping time and helping to maintain a "learning" environment (no unnecessary interruptions, etc.) Past monitors have loved this position for what they learn! Shifts available: 8 to noon; 10 am to 2 pm.
Relief Workers: Not-Jazz Parents are needed to sub for Jazz parents for an hour, so the Jazz parents can go to watch their children play. Shifts Needed: 10-11 and 12:45 to 1:45.
Instrument Storage: One person is needed, from 4 to 7 pm, to sit quietly inside the Q building, where instruments are stored when not in use. You will not be responsible for the instruments; you are just there to make sure students come and go with purpose, and no loitering. Good time to catch up on your reading.
