Abravanel Hall Schedule & Information -- immediate attention requested

We have Information! The information in this email is also included as the first page of the attachment so you can easily print it to have on hand. The second page of the attachment includes an excuse letter for you to get time off school, and the permission slip for you to turn in to me. You may scan and email it, or bring it Saturday. My personal goal is to have them all returned to me by this Saturday at the concert. Please do all you can to get this information to me asap.

Thanks,
Julie

v  We anticipate that the bus will be close to full. If you volunteered to help with transportation at the beginning of the year, I will contact you on an as-needed basis. Once everyone's intentions are known, we will ascertain if additional transportation is necessary.  Even if we don't need extra people movers, we will definitely need help hauling percussion and cellos/basses.
v  Please let Julie know a.s.a.p. if you would like to volunteer but aren't sure if you already did.
