Dear CIMA Families,
Our first and most popular performance of the school year is finally upon us! The Spooktacular Fall Festival and Concert is happening this Thursday, Oct 26, starting at 5pm. We hope you will join us for great performances from Guitar, Jazz, Orchestra, and Advanced Band. There will be food from Pizza Port and Hodad's, plus lots of yummy treats at our bake sale. Correia's ASB will be hosting games a-plenty to play in between the performances including a haunted classroom!
We are still in need of volunteers - especially to help with clean up at the end! - and more donated goodies. Please read all of the details below - and you can always visit our Spooktacular Concert Website.
Sincerely,
Mr. Dwyer
Director - Correia Instrumental Music
Volunteers & Donations needed!!!
To make this a "graveyard smash" for our community, we need LOTS of help! Remember, we ask that each music family donate their time & energy to at least ONE event per year. We always hope to see some new faces come out to help - this is a GREAT way to meet your fellow band parents and become part of our Correia Music Community!
As of now, we are particularly in need of:
- Clean Up Volunteers
- Second Shift Burger Grillers (Guitar & Jazz Parents)
- Spooky Desserts
- Soda -- or Sparkling Water is also always popular
All Donated Items may be dropped off in the Music Office located in room 601 on Thursday Morning before 8am OR Thursday afternoon after 1pm. Items may be dropped of in the main office during the school day. Please let the secretary know that the your item is for "Spooktacular."
