PROP MAKING WORK NIGHT!
Wednesday Night July 24th!
Join us Wednesday Night July 24th from 6-8pm to learn more about the prop design plan for the 2024 Show! We will provide Pizzas and cold drinks and will spend the night, while the kids practice, working on starting prop preparations.
This year the props are expected to be many in number, and quite large, and we need all the help that we can get! Everyone who is able is encouraged to join us so we can get the props, which will be an integral part of the students show preparation, ready for Band Camp. Come to learn more, meet new people, get the inside scoop on some of the exciting show features, and help make this one of our most exciting and visual shows yet!
We will be meeting by the greenhouse. Enter by the tennis courts and drive straight up the back of the high school and we will be ready and waiting for you. Any questions, please reach out to Heidi or Kevin. If you struggle to find the group on the day of the meetup, Heidi can be reached at (860) 770-4484.
