Volunteers still needed for All-State
We still need volunteers for All State this Friday evening and Saturday! Please use Charms to sign up. Our current need is for the registration tables. Some instruments will have more students than others and their registration will last longer, so the shifts have been split. If you are only available for certain times, please sign up as a floater and make a note of your availability in Charms. Let's get these spots filled to help this event run smoothly!
