 Shoreline and Concord Pavilion
Would you like to earn money for your student's Music (Band, Choir, Strings) account? We sell food and beverages during concerts at the Concord Pavilion and Shoreline Amphitheatre? On average a parent can expect to earn from $70-$100 per event. Zac Brown band opens the season April 14th and ends Late October with Neil Young's Bridge School benefit. Please Contact Steve Worth for more information.
IT'S BEEN A WHILE...

Since we've needed office supplies for the band room.  The last drive almost 2 years ago was so successful we were well stocked for a good stretch of time. As we prepare to get ready for next marching season (believe it or not!) there are a few items that would be of use in running the band program. If you would like to help, please send in any of the
following with your child:

-reams of white paper (8.5x11 size only please)
-dry erase markers (black is great)
-rolls of scotch tape
-sticky notes
-pens/pencils

Thanks for your consideration in helping. Every little bit goes to good se.

Come support winter percussion and winter guard at the Friends & Family show! On Friday evening Amador's large gym will play host to a FREE 7:30 pm show of all of PUSD's guard and percussion groups.  Doors open at 7:00 pm.  Come one come all...

And congratulations to the Winter Percussion group for bringing home another 1st place finish at the NCPA Logan show on Saturday and to the winter guard for bringing home 2nd place honors at the CCGC King's Academy show.  Good luck to both groups as they compete in circuit championships this weekend in San Jose.  Go Dons!

Easy volunteer request-can you help?
On April 24th the bands of PUSD are hosting the annual district band showcase at Harvest Park.  Each school needs to provide 2 parent volunteers to sit at the silent auction tables during the concert.  This is a low-responsibility job and requires 3 hours or so of time on the 24th; plus you get to enjoy the concert while you help supervise the tables.  Please e-mail me if you are interested or able to help.
