Hey everyone,
The band event is drawing near and I am so scared that I am missing something.
The deadline for the performing groups is today!! I have had a great response. The donations keep coming in (monetary and material). At this point, we have raised $3000.00. But, it is still early and we have gifts coming in everyday. Not to mention, all of the gifts that have been donated. Or the donations sent via the website. Thanks to all.
I am printing all of the survivor stories and pictures on beautiful stationary thatt resembles "heavan,clouds and peacefulness). All of the stories will be displayed on decorated music stands with big white ribbons. We will have all of the stories strategically located, so they will be read by the students. We will have professional an/or college level instrumental performers in the hallways so there will be music everywhere to hopefully highlight the area the stories are located. (lined up a celtic harpist, guitarist, string quartet, wind and brass soloists)-many will most likely be coming from the University of Memphis.

P.S.
I hope you are not finding my updates bothersome. I certainly don't want to upset anyone. Please let me know if this is the case. My purpose of the updates is to let you know what's going on and so I can keep all of my "ducks in a row".
