NEWS FOR THE WEEK OF OCTOBER 21, 2019
|
|
Invite your friends and family to our Fall Concert this October 29 and BUY YOUR TICKETS
BEFORE THE EVENT at
Brown Paper Tickets!
|
|
Avoid the long lines and the hassle on concert night by reserving your favorite seats today. The Fall Concert will feature all five bands in Barnum Hall on
Tuesday, October 29, at 6:30 p.m. Tickets are $10 for adults and $5 for students and seniors. Contact
[email protected] if you need wheelchair spaces or complimentary seating.
|
|
Starting at 5:30 pm, we'll have food on offer for all the families to purchase and enjoy before the concert starts at 6:30 pm.
Sign up here to bring a dish or serve food! We will also need
ushers to help people find their assigned seats once they're in Barnum Hall — you can also sign up to do that
on our signup sheet. Come help out! Volunteering is a great way to meet other parents and get involved with the Samohi Bands.

Bands at the Broad Needs Co-Chairs!
This amazing fundraiser on
Tuesday, February 11, features our top two bands in concert at the beautiful Eli and Edith Broad Theater and raises much-needed funds for tour scholarships.

Featuring a silent auction, cupcakes, and adult beverages, this sparkling event needs co-chairs to lead and oversee the effort to organize wine and ticket sales, cupcake signups, and the silent auction. Help us build a winning team to make
Bands at the Broad a success for our musicians!
Please contact
[email protected] if you can help in any way. We are looking for a chair or co-chairs to start, but if there is another place you'd like to pitch in, please let us know!
