That’s a Wrap on Sweet Jazz
Happy Friday from your band booster president-
I wanted to take a few moments to thank those that helped make last night’s Sweet Jazz Festival a success. Much of what we do for fundraising and other volunteer activities for the band reminds me of the analogy of the duck on water. Many times what those that are attending our events see is the duckgliding across the water gracefully without effort. I have had the pleasure over my last two years as booster president to be very aware of how active those feet are under the water as well. That graceful glide comes from many behind the scenes putting in extraordinary work.
There are many that went in to making last night’s event glide. Thank you to the below for all of your hard work:
- Event Head: Kim Fry
- Auction Baskets: Suzanne Strawn and Robin Erpenbeck
- Prep help by: Staci Hunt Ramsey, Kara Albrecht, Kiah Royse, Abby Strawn
- Many also donated or facilitated the baskets for the auction (so many that there is no way I could even try to name them all without missing someone so thank you!)
- Desserts: Tammy Wise
- Prep help by Nancy McCoy, Bob Royse, Brian Fry
- Also many donations to help here as well!
- Student Servers: Adrienne Hafley, Kimmi Erpenbeck, Delaney Royse, and Cody Osborne
- Ticket Door Sales/Collection: Vilma Laine
- Truck Pickup: Cindy Richmond
- Photography: Sorrell Family
Thank you to all that came to the event and enjoyed the sweet sounds of jazz while bidding on our 35 baskets. All three bands sounded incredible and I am very proud of what these kids accomplished last night.
See you all at the next booster meeting in June!
