We have a very big Winter Percussion show planned for this year with a lot of extra equipment and we need at least 6 chaperones per show in addition to our regular staff.   We need all Winter Percussion parents to volunteer to chaperone several shows, so please check your schedules and visit our Volunteer Spot page to choose your dates.

The clean up day for the tree lot is Saturday Nov 22 and we will need a few supplies to get the lot ready. We need everybody’s help!   

• Tools needed: Power tools- drill or impact wrench with battery chargers
• Rakes, weed trimmers,hedge/brush trimmers, shovels
• Sledge hammer
• Circular saws with ext cords or battery chargers
• Duct tape, ties
• Step ladders
• A wheel barrel would be helpful to move existing wood chips
• Helpful if you wear work gloves. Some are at the lot, but would be helpful if you bring your own.
• Light bulbs (if you have some that you have just replaced we can take the old ones assuming they still work)
