To GHS Wind and Jazz Ensemble Students and their families:
IMPORTANT TRIP INFORMATION fifinal total cost will be. final total cost per student, after the automatic $100 deduction we announced in September, is $541.44. This is higher than the cost we quoted in September due to an increase in the airfare and bus costs. We continue to work on ways to trim this down, but thought you should know the worst case scenario. One of the most important things you can do to lower the cost of the trip is attend the financial support. At this meeting you will address 10-12 envelopes with the names of individuals you think might donate money to support the trip. This kind of fund raising has been extremely successful for other groups at Grant. This meeting will take lessficant amount which will be shared by all. You will also have time to ask questions of Mr. Budge or Susan Shepperd about the trip. Other ways you can help lower the cost of the trip: The Grant Band Boosters have been working hard to create fun and successful ways to raise money. They include: • Advertisement Sales in the Winter Gala Concert Program — Our volunteers have already been selling ads to businesses in the area. If you would like to place an ad contact Mollie Shibley immediately at smlaa@aracnet.com (space is limited!). Also, we’ff the order form. • Selling Shares of the Band — At every event this year we will set up a “Broker’s Desk” and sell shares of the band. These “ficates” will be hung in the band room to show our kids how much their community cares about them. Look for these at the Winter Gala Concert. If you’d like to help sell shares, email Susan Shepperd at skshepperd@comcast.net • The Sweet Sound of Jazz — Our biggest and most delicious fund raising event of the year. We serve dessert while the Jazz Lab and Jazz Ensemble performs in the wonderful Great Hall at Westminster Presbyterian Church. Mark your calendar for Friday, January 12, 2007. If you are interested in donating desserts or would like to help out in any way call Rosemarie Etemad-Green at 503-249-9639. And don’t forget to ask your child if he or she is selling chocolate. Several students have already earned a third of their trip! The money goes directly into their account - so the harder they work the more they make. Schedule of Payment Options You may pay for the trip with two or three installments. Of course, we are raising money to lower everyone’final payment will likely be less than that shown below and will depend on how much money we raise. A statement of your child’s account will be sent home to you on January 31, 2007.
