A Special treat that will just BLOW. YOU. AWAY.

I'm sure all of you trumpet fans have heard of Chris Botti. If you've never heard or seen him, you really are in for a treat. He made his debut with the Boston Pops back in Sept.'08 and taped a concert for PBS' Annual Pledge Drive. It's being aired again this month. If you can squeeze in any time at all, this is a MUST WATCH concert - check your local listings -- make sure to at least record it. He is an incredible musician. You really have to see him perform.

AND.... guess what else? He was Mr. Kelly's trumpet teacher. We'll have to get some details!!Here's a sampling... OMG could you just die at 4:44 - IS HE AMAZING OR WHAT!!!

Steven Tyler still has it too! (nice to see he's still alive)



And here's Chris with Yo-Yo Ma

POT LUCK DINNER INFO

The Music Boosters wish to thank all parents in advance for helping with our pot luck dinner for the kids this year. We are planning dinner in the cafeteria at 5pm on the 27th. A preliminary sign up sheet for hot food items went around to the kids last week. Booster members will be calling all parents this week to confirm what items they will be sending in. If you're attending the Matinee show and can't cook, a $10 donation towards to-go items would be most appreciated. All left overs and pizza will be served at the cast party following the evening performance. The kids should be done around 11-11:30 pm.

Stay tuned for further updates....
