We'd Love to See Everyone at the Craft Fair On December 3rd!
The Music Boosters' Craft Fair in from 10am to 5pm on Saturday Dec 3rd. There are 50 vendors filling the Great Hall. The music students will be there to entertain the buyers and sellers - so come out and support the music program and pick up some great gifts for the holiday season.  Wendy Burson is coordinating the Craft Fair and can always use a few parents to help by donating (or letting us borrow) indoor lights and other holiday decorations, heavy duty extention cords, and a Christmas Tree for the entrance; also she could use general set up help on Friday evening, and at the beginning and ending the day Saturday. If you'd like to help with the Fair please contact Wendy at kwbh98026@yahoo.com

December Concerts - Can You Help?
I need 3-4 parents to volunteer to man the donation table at the entrance of the Orchestra/Choir Concert on December 6th and I still need 2 or 3 parents to help with the Band Concert on December 13th. If you can help at one of these concerts - please contact me at sdemun@comcast.net.

Jazz I & II trip to Eastern Washington University's Jazz Dialog
We are planning a big jazz field trip for Friday through Sunday, January 13-15. We will depart from school by charter bus at 6:30 am on Friday, January 13th, and return to EW on Sunday, January 15. We will stay in the Spokane Ramada Inn in Spokane. The cost is $160 per student  with checks made out to 'ESD' and submitted to Mrs. Daines.  Families experiencing financial hardships may submit an application for assistance through the Music Booster Club. 

We will need a number of chaperones. Chaperones pay their own way at a reduced rate ($100 per person). We need parent chaperones who will drive their own vehicles to provide additional space for hauling instruments and for ferrying small groups of students to their performance venues on Friday & Saturday.  If you are interested in chaperoning this trip, please send Mr. Bergevin an email ASAP!

Battle of the Bands Has Started - Vote Everyday if you Can!

Music Supports the EW's Canned Food Drive!
Edmonds Food Bank serves between 300-400 families in Edmonds per week.  EW's food drive is the most important food drive in our entire district as it needs approximately 3000-4000 cans per week to provide for our area.  So far, our food drive has brought in under 200 cans.  We are asking for your help!  Please help us spread the word. We are extending the food drive into the first week of December in an effort to bring in more cans!  
Thanks for your support!   Becky Heckinger (Kern) / Biology Teacher
