Dear Directors,

A planning meeting for the 2010 Lower Valley Beginning Band Festival was held in late November. At the meeting, we selected all the music and discussed some of the other important matters of the event. The festival will be held at the Grandview Middle School Gymnasium, in Grandview on Thursday, May 13th, 2010. The concert will begin at 6:30 P.M., Make sure your students bring a sack lunch and a beverage, and PLEASE BRING ENOUGH MUSIC STAND TO OUTFIT YOUR BAND! We need to know how many students you plan on bringing as soon as possible. Please email Steve Boyle, jschlegel@grandview.wednet.edu and myself jaoo64@yahoo.com with the number of students you plan to bring to the festival. I have included in this email the tunes that were selected for the festival. You can call JW Pepper at 1-800-345-6296 with your order. Please use their Pepper numbers when ordering. The school that have been invited are: Wapato, White Swan, Toppenish, Zillah, Granger, Sunnyside, Sunnyside Christian, Bickleton, Prosser, Kiona-Benton, Burbank, Finley, Liberty Christian and host Mabton.

If you have any questions about the festival, please call me on my cell phone 509-961-5328 or email be at jaoo64@yahoo.com
