Lee's Summit West High School's Band, Choir, and Orchestra Programs
On Friday morning, from 7:20 am to 8:30 am, jackets will be distributed to the individuals in the Men’s Choir. Parent volunteer assistance (2-3 helpers) will make this process run much smoother. If you are available to assist, please reply to this email.
Thanks!

We will be decorating the stage for next Tuesday’s instrumental concert on Monday, Dec. 9 from 3-5 PM. We could use 3 adult volunteers, if possible. I am also hoping for community service hours for some teenagers who would be staying after school to carry items to the stage, help decorate, and then taking down after the program Tuesday and putting back up for the 16th. We were able to do that last year, and it made everything move along very quickly! Contact Gay Beth Bingham if you are able to help.
Don’t forget Christmas in the Park is this Friday!
Our organization was selected to help Jackson County with the Christmas in the Park light display at Longview Lake. In turn for providing volunteers to collect donations, the LSW Music Parent group will receive a portion of the monies collected for the general fund…up to $1,000! We could still use a few more volunteers.
The details are:
* Day — Friday, November 29th
* Time — 5:00pm to 11:00pm
* Where — Longview Park
In order to receive our share of the funds we have to have at least 6 adults there at all times. Children 16 and older can also volunteer, but no one under the age of 16 can assist.
We can split the night into shifts; however, any volunteers that come after the park opens will need to wait in the line of cars to get to the park. The Friday after Thanksgiving will be a very busy night so that will make it difficult to volunteer for only the second part of the night. If you would like to volunteer for the just the second part of the evening, please let me know (I think I have Plan B that will work and only involves a short walk thru the woods.)
You can sign up to volunteer in Charms:

The LSW Music Parent Firework Tent is open for business. The tent is located on the west side of LSW and is open from 7am to 11pm.
There are still several open shifts on July 3rd and 4th. Please consider volunteering if you are available. If you are not able to work at the tent, we would love to see at the tent purchasing fireworks for your holiday fun. We have a huge selection of fantastic fireworks.
If you have volunteered to work at the tent, just show up at the tent at your scheduled time. The previous shift volunteers will give you an overview of everything that you need to know. There is also a binder with all of the written documentation just in case you need it.
Please let me know if you have any questions!

Greetings!
We are at the start of a busy October, beginning with the Park Hill Marching Festival this Saturday, October 6th. Parent volunteers are needed to make this a success!
Several volunteers are needed Saturday to set up tents, serve food to the band and help with equipment. We will meet at the school at 8:45am and caravan to Park Hill. Everything needs to be set and ready to serve food to the percussion at 11am.
1 volunteer is needed to drive a Penske truck to the competition and back to the school at the end of the day. We wil l meet at the school at 8:45am, returning around 6:30pm.
Please let me know by Wednesday if you will be able to help. All parents (and families) are invited, welcomed and encouraged to come to the event and show support for the band. I hope to see you Saturday!

Please sign up in Charms to assist Andrea.
There are several opportunities in the coming weeks to volunteer with the Music Department.
Ice Cream Social: There is a desperate need for volunteers to grill and serve food. Please consider volunteering for this event. It will be a great evening!
Tuxedo Fitting times:
Great news! Your students will be performing at the we are performing at the Renaissance Festival on Sept. 22! It would be great to have some parent help in getting kids fitted/assigned costumes in preparation for the performance. If we could have some parents who’d be willing to come during the Sat. (Sept. 8) rehearsal from 9 AM-noon, it would be greatly appreciated. Please contact Mr. Sullivan at ryan.sullivan@leesummit.k12.mo.us as soon as possible so that he may plan for the rehearsal. Thanks for your help.
Looking forward to seeing you at Tuesday’s ice cream social!
