DESSERT & VOLUNTEERS NEEDED FOR EXCHANGE CONCERTS

 

Homestead is hosting two upcoming exchange concerts:  Our Symphonic Band and Concert Band on Wed, Feb 9 along with Fremont’s and Lynbrook’s Symphonic and Concert Bands.  We will serve them dessert after the concert.  We’ll need 700 servings of dessert plus a few people to set up at 8:30pm, serve at 9:30pm and clean up at 10pm.  Desserts may be dropped off at the school quad (by the cafeteria) before the concerts.

 

On Thurs, Feb 10, our Orchestra will host the Los Gatos HS Orchestra (and Mr Marra).  We will do a pizza dinner.  For this event, we need people to help set up, serve pizza and clean up (5:30pm – 7:15pm).  This will all occur before the concert starts.

 

Please log on to our volunteer website to sign up for dessert and/or volunteering.
