POT LUCK DINNER & CAST PARTY UPDATE

Thank you to all who are bringing food items. Last night's show from start to finish was exactly 3 hours, so our show on Saturday is 2:00 and should finish at 5:00. Please drop off your hot food items in the cafe at 4:30-4:45 so we have time to set up the buffet line to start serving at 5 - 5:15ish. This will give the kids a good hour to relax before they need to be on stage for the evening performance. If anyone needs to bring a food item in early, we will be in the cafe setting up at 3:30.
You can also drop off items prior to the show - just have your child leave them in the band room and we will get them to the cafe.

Our cast party will be getting started a bit later than planned. In an effort to get the kids back down to the cafe as quick as possible, we could use a few more hands helping out with putting everything back (pit instruments, costumes, props, etc.) and cleaning the make-up and dressing rooms. We are hoping to get the cast party started by 11:00 and the kids out of the building by 12 - 12:30.

Mr. Clark thanks you and your children for the outstanding support you have provided in putting on this show.

All of the kids' hard work has certainly paid off......

The show is truly amazing -- WOW!

POW!

&

BAM!

Thanks again for all of your help.

Rare Superman comic sells for $317,200

This first comic book featuring Superman is considered "The Holy Grail of Comic Books"



John Dolmayan, drummer for the rock band System of a Down, submitted the winning bid.

System of a Down are known for their left-wing political views. In their songs, they have addressed such topics as the Tiananmen Square protests of 1989, Armenian Genocide, Iraqi Civil war, Capitalism, minority rights, War on Drugs, anti-religious sentiment, and censorship. The band is a part of the Axis of Justice, a non-profit organization dedicated to bringing together musicians, music fans, and grassroots political organizations to fight for social justice.

The man who had previously owned the book purchased it in a secondhand store in the early 1950s when he was nine years old.

He paid 35 cents.
