Choir Uniforms
By now your son/daughter should have brought home a tuxedo/dress. Many of them will need to be hemmed. I know that many tuxedo pants/dresses are very long, but please when you are hemming DO NOT cut them. If you are not able to or feel uncomfortable hemming please pin the tuxedo pants/dress at the right length, have your son or daughter bring his/her tuxedo pants/dress back to school and I will take care of having it hemmed.
October Music Booster Meeting
The October Alma Music Booster Meeting will be held on Monday, October 14 at 7:00pm in the Alma High School band room.
Scrip
I would like to encourage you one more time to consider purchasing and using SCRIP. Scrip, the Music Boosters’ ongoing fund raiser, is unique because the Boosters aren’t asking our students to sell anything. Rather, the Boosters are asking you to purchase a gift card to a retail store from which you plan to purchase items on a regular basis. Money earned from scrip can be used toward any music related expenses for your child including our upcoming trip to Chicago. Scrip can be ordered/purchased at the Alma Sewing Center during regular business hours or online once an account has been set up. For more information visit almamusicboosters.org or contact Leslie Love, [email protected].
Cheesecake Fundraiser
It’s cheesecake time again! The Alma Music Boosters organization is running its annual Gourmet’s Delight cheesecake fundraiser. The fundraiser will help provide the music program with funds needed to hire guest clinicians, repair instruments, purchase music, purchase awards, update the uniform inventory, and more!
The sale will run from September 30 through October 14. The cheesecakes come pre-sliced and frozen and can be stored in your freezer for up to 6 months. Cheesecakes will be delivered on Monday October 28 and sellers can pick them up at First Presbyterian Church between 3 and 6pm.
