Halloween Concert & Party
Hello Band Parents & Students!
We are a couple of weeks away from our Halloween Concert! Thursday, October 30th at 6:00pm in the FCHS Performing Arts Center! In this email you will find a lot of information about the concert, concert attire, and the Halloween Reception Party after the concert. Please send me an email with any questions or concerns! Thank you in advance!

Concert Attire
All students are encouraged to dress up in fun costumes that represent the spooky music we are performing. They are allowed to dress up in halloween costumes - my only requirement is that students will need to be able to see me and play their instruments! If you do not want your child dressing up, they can wear concert black.
Concert Attendees Attire
Any concert attendees that are coming to the concert ( parents and younger siblings ) are also encouraged to dress up in costumes as well if they would like! We will be having a costume contest with a small prize at the reception!
Reception- Food Donations
We will be having a post concert reception/ Halloween party after the performance. I am asking that students help by bringing in something to share at the reception if possible. Freshmen & Sophomores are in charge of bringing in something Savory/Salty ( chips, dips, sliders, chicken nuggets, etc.) Juniors & Seniors are in charge of bringing in something sweet/desserts (halloween candy, brownies, cookies, etc.). Your student can drop off their reception food at the report time on Monday or I can hold onto items in my office for students during class on Monday if needed.

Decorations-Borrow
We also could use some decorations for the tables for where the food will be displayed. Also, if you have any fun blow up yard props/decorations that could help transform the PAC to be more spooky- you can bring them! I will have extension cords ready!! ( I will give it back right after the concert.)
Volunteer Opportunities
I am looking for volunteers to help set up for the concert after school around 4:30pm. I need help with setting up the reception tables with the food donations around 5:30pm. I need help with cleaning up after the concert around 7:30ish. If you are available to help at those times, please let me know and sign up on the sign up genius link! Thank you in advance!
