MUSIC DEPARTMENT ANNUAL POTLUCK DINNER

This year’s Music Department potluck dinner is scheduled for Thursday, February 23, 2012. For parents new to the Marauder Band, this annual potluck allows the band an opportunity to perform the CMEA festival pieces for you. It’s also great practice for our students to be able to perform in front of an audience prior to the Music Festival scheduled for March 2nd. Come support your student and enjoy an evening of fun, food and terrific music!

Please deliver all food dishes ready to be served with any needed serving utensils to the Monache Campus Center between 5:30 – 5:45 P.M.  Dinner will begin at 6:00 P.M.  The MBPA will provide plates, cups, napkins, dinner utensils and beverages (punch, coffee and ice water). 

Students with “Last Names” beginning:

A-M Bring a main dish and salad.
N-Z Bring a main dish and dessert.

Please bring enough food to serve your entire family and a few extra students.
